Welcome to Xing Yi Quan Montréal
Welcome to Xing Yi Quan Montréal, a traditional Chinese martial arts school dedicated to the study and practice of Xing Yi Quan (形意拳)
Our goal is to preserve the authentic teachings of this internal martial art, combining powerful self-defence training with deep internal cultivation and personal development.
Rooted in the Five Elements and Twelve Animal Forms, Xing Yi Quan develops both practical fighting ability and internal power. Students learn to move with structure, precision, and intent — transforming body and mind through disciplined, mindful practice. Whether your aim is self-defence, fitness, or spiritual balance, our school provides a genuine environment for growth under the guidance of experienced traditional martial artists.
