The martial arts journey of Anabella
Scroll to explore
Six paths, one thread. Each martial art carries its own philosophy, movement language, and way of understanding the body.
The grand ultimate fist — a practice of yielding, listening, and whole-body integration rooted in Daoist philosophy.
The cultivation of life energy through breath, movement, and intention — the foundation of internal strength.
The eight trigram palm — constant change, circular movement, and the ability to redirect force through walking the circle.
Form-intention fist — the most direct of the internal arts, expressing the five elements through explosive linear power.
Six harmonies, eight methods — this rare art combines elements of Tai Chi, Bagua, and Xingyi into a flowing practice.
The foundation — years of disciplined training that built the body, discipline, and understanding for all internal arts.
The principles that guide these arts are not abstract ideas — they are felt in the body, tested in practice, and lived daily.
Every art was transmitted directly — in person, on mountains, in academies. This is the lineage.
At Yuzhen Palace on Wudang Mountain, Taiji 108 and Wu Xing Qigong were transmitted through extensive daily training with Zhang Wen Gao 张懋资开, under the guidance and lineage of Master Yuan Xiugang 袁修刚 (Daoist name: Shi Mao 师懋).
