		Yiquan is known for having discarded adherence to form as found in its parent art, Xingyiquan, in favour of what are claimed to be formless methods, including zhan zhuang.

		Zhan zhuang can increase the density of our bones, and so harden them.
		In this context, Bai Ba Qi-gong Zhuang (Hundred-Round Qi-gong Posture) which is a power-discharge exercise, can help us make good use of the strength developed and accumulated from doing Zhan-Zhuang or the Taiji form.
		Its benefits to health are enormous as it involves the use of our Dan-tian (lower abdomen) which rotates with the movements, and so provides a good exercise and a lot of stimulation to our internal organs.
