Yaquan, or Duck Fist, is a fascinating and specialized branch of Chinese Pictographic Boxing (Xiangxingquan). This instructional DVD features Master Xie Huaicheng, a renowned national-level coach and 6th Duan martial artist, who guides practitioners through the intricate movements and internal principles of this unique style. The form is characterized by its lively, bird-like movements, emphasizing the integration of hardness and softness.

Throughout the 41-minute program, Master Xie breaks down the complex techniques of Yaquan, including its signature hand strikes like pressing, piercing, and slapping palms, as well as its dynamic leg techniques and stances. The training focuses on sinking Qi to the Dantian and releasing Explosive Power, ensuring that every movement is both functional and aesthetically precise.

This DVD provides a detailed look at the form's structure, from the 'Silver Duck' series of movements to advanced sequences like 'Leaping to Catch Prey' and 'Treading Waves.' Each form is presented with clear, multi-angle demonstrations—front, side, and rear views—to ensure that students can accurately replicate the footwork, hand positioning, and rhythmic flow required for mastery.

Whether you are a practitioner of Internal Martial Arts or a student of traditional Chinese Kung Fu, this DVD offers valuable insights into the mechanics of Pictographic Boxing. By practicing Yaquan, you will not only enhance your internal energy and explosive force but also gain a deeper understanding of how Traditional Chinese Martial Arts utilize animal-inspired movements for health, fitness, and effective self-defense.
