About Song Gao

I am Song GAO, Yiquan inheritor& instructor, Zhanzhuang expert in health & wellness.

I was born in 1987 and grew up in a village in China. I began professional Yiquan and Zhanzhuang training with Master Zhang Yongmou, a fourth-generation Yiquan inheritor, in 2016.

Master Zhang’s teaching method and my own effort made me a qualified teacher with 4-year training, including 3 years of assistant teaching experience in his Yiquan school. I had taught Zhanzhuang & Yiquan in Czech and Peru before teaching by instructional videos in 2020. I am trying to be a full-time teacher in the future.

I went to the USA to teach Zhanzhuang and Yiquan in 2024.

I took two disciples named Hosh in Bisbee, AZ and Lyle in New York City.

I visit the USA again in Jul-Aug.2025.
