Xinyidao Internal Martial Arts Seminar
(Modern Synthesis of Taijiquan, Baguazhang, and Xingyiquan)
Taught by Master Mark Li

What is Xinyidao?
Xinyidao, as created by the famous Internal Martial Artist Master Li Tai Liang, literally translates as the “Way of Heart and Mind.” It is a system that combines the core concepts and training methods of Yang Style Taiji Quan, Cheng Style Bagua Zhang, Shanxi Xingyi Quan, and Dai Family Xinyi Quan, to develop the body structure, physical strength, dantian, and qi movement within the body. Xinyidao extracts and emphasizes the common principle behind all these arts, rotation and expansion of the lower “dantian” (literally “elixir field”) in the body to create incredible energy which can be utilized for health or self defense. Training in Xinyidao includes the use of static stances, moving stances, circle walking, and qigong/neigong exercises drawn from the individual arts. The ability to rotate and expand “the ball” or lower dantian, a skill common to all the arts, begins as a purely physical skill which becomes more and more “internal” as the practitioner’s level increases. Rotation and expansion of the dantian establishes the interconnection between the physical body and internal qi and, with practice, nourishes the body for physical health and fighting abilities. It is also the foundation needed for the further development in the Xinyidao system. Once a solid foundation has built, one will choose to pursue and study one of these internal martial arts. After learning the body mechanics of the particular internal art and learn how to apply it realistically, one will move on to learn the other internal arts one by one.

Master Li Tai Liang, former wushu (Chinese martial arts) professor, wushu and free-sparring champion, instructor to the Beijing antiterrorist special police, and coach of the Beijing national free-sparring team, emigrated to the United States in 1996. He established Xinyidao as a method to allow students to quickly learn the power development principles common to all internal arts and be able to apply them to any physical endeavor. The approaches to the body mechanics and power developments are different within these internal arts. One will use a circular body motion, while another uses linear body motion. Some focus on softness while others focus more on hardness. However, Xinyidao system is not just a way of learning different methods and developing proficiency in each of these different internal arts. At a higher level, the interconnection of these internal arts and their methods achieves the BALANCE within one’s body. At this stage, one is able to demonstrate the extreme hardnss and softness, and unify the dynamics of their body movements. This BALANCE is the harmonization of Yin and Yang, and it is the ultimate path in the Xinyidao system to explore and release the unlimited potential within one’s body.
