Can anyone share any information on Jin Yiming (Chin I Ming)? I just recently picked up a copy of his "Zhongguo jiji jinghua" (The Essence of Chinese Martial Arts). I remember hearing or reading before (NorthernShaolin, it was probably in one of your posts) that he had also studied Northern Shaolin and taught some of the ten sets to his students, but that he did not learn from Gu Ruzhang.
thx

Hi Beiquan,
Me, Tainan Mantis and Graculus had a discussion on this previously.

Could you let me know where I could pick up a copy of his book. I am intrigued by his branch of Northern Shaolin. Is it Tai Tzu, Mien Quan or Mizong perhaps. What, may I ask, does the book say about his system. His posture in the Bruce Lee page photo is identical to my Big Buddhapalm form posture.
Cheers

buddhapalm,
I just picked up two of his books, "Zhongguo jiji jinghua" and "Liangong mijue" at a bookstore in LA Chinatown. Both are recent reprints, part of the "Gu quanpu" series published by Shanxi kexue jishu chubanshe. Haven't gotten too far into them yet, as I'm translating as I read (slow work...), so no info so far on who his teachers were; as far as I've gotten into the books he has not mentioned it. I was hoping that someone else might have this information... I'll post more as I get further into the books.

Dear Beiquan,
Any further luck in your research of the teachers/styles of Jin Yiming ?
I will soon order the 1930's book "The Essence of Chinese Martial Arts" from China.
I am most intrigued in Jin Yiming's background. Is it Lohan, Mienzhang, etc.
Cheers
