One hour conversation and not a single mention of elbows, gotta be a new record for Byron 🙃

Yiquan most definitely comes from Shanghai. It was founded in Shanghai. Beijing was much later. The social unrest broke up yiquan. And for a long time only the health aspect was publicized. Open training was all health oriented in the Beijing period.
