Ji Jike

Ji Jike was a highly accomplished martial artist from Yongji, Shanxi Province. He was also known as Ji Longfeng. According to accepted theory, he is widely considered to be the originator of the internal martial art of Xingyiquan. Ji Jike created the martial art of Xinyiquan, which is the precursor of Xingyiquan. He based the fundamentals of Xinyi on the spear techniques for which he was also famous. It was Li Luo Neng, a most famous descendant of Ji Jike, who modified Xinyi and called it Xingyi.
