Mr. Liang Yiquan led his early disciples to learn martial arts at the Shaolin Temple in Tallinn
Four times entrepreneurship has repeatedly created miracles, and it is indomitable and unrepentant dedication
In this way, after Liang Yi's selfless struggle and continuous innovation day and night, the school in the early 1980s had a situation of rapid progress in a few months, and the quality of teaching and his ability to "make blood" were rapidly improving. While the school is well-known throughout the country, the performance task of receiving various groups at all levels is also becoming increasingly arduous. The location of the school is more than 10 kilometers away from dengfeng county, and it is inconvenient to go out to complete the performance task. In order to solve this problem and reduce the students' hard work, the school bought a tool car, a Dongfeng car and several motorcycles on its own. Who wanted this piece of public action, but caused some people to not understand and jealousy, the tool car was transferred, Liang Yiquan was also transferred out of the sports school, changed to Dengfeng County (now Dengfeng City) Sports Committee Office Director. In 1984, the hospital moved back to Dengfeng District and rented the Songshan Theater Guest House for training, and then the students began to lose. Soon the hospital moved to the Dengfeng County Sports Committee, and before long, the number of more than 1,000 students in the school plummeted to more than 40.
In September 1984, the leaders of the then Dengfeng County Sports Committee decided to let Liang Yiquan re-grasp the martial arts training work.
Early disciples often returned to their alma mater to visit their mentors
Unwilling to take over the work of the county sports school, Liang Yiquan founded the Shaolin Martial Arts Training Center in the new site of the sports committee at that time, and Liang Yiquan, who was 53 years old at the time, began his second venture.
There is still no funding, no house. But no amount of difficulty could stop Liang Yi's long-cherished wish and pride in running martial arts education and promoting Shaolin Kung Fu. He borrowed more than 200,000 yuan and managed to build more than 10 asbestos tile mixed school buildings, although simple, but classrooms, dormitories, training grounds are readily available.
As soon as the news of "Liang Yiquan came out of the mountain again" was announced, many students from all over the country rushed to register in a short period of time.
At the same time as the rapid development of the Shaolin Martial Arts Training Center, the Dengfeng County Shaolin Martial Arts Sports School (hereinafter referred to as the Sports School), which was originally founded by Liang Yiquan for the first time, has always hovered in a slump of only a few dozen students.
The first members of the Dengfeng Shaolin Martial Arts Sports School and Mr. Liang Yiquan were in Tallinn
In 1986, under the coordination of the then Dengfeng County Sports Committee, the sports school was merged into the Shaolin Wushu Training Center, and the center was changed back to Liang under the name of Quanchuang School: Dengfeng County Shaolin Wushu Sports School.
In 1987, the school and the Beijing Institute of Physical Education jointly founded the Shaolin Martial Arts Seminary, which is the base.
In 1988, the school's student population grew to more than 1,400.
In 1988, Liang Yiquan was elected president of the Shaolin Boxing Research Association.
Since 1987, the school has won the first place in the team in the Henan Wushu Competition for four consecutive years.
At this moment, Liang Yiquan himself could not predict that the balance of his original ups and downs of fate was once again violently swinging, and he was about to embark on the journey of the third venture.
Time flies and unforgettable mentors, and the first varsity team members take a group photo with them many years later
In 1988, Zhang Yaoting, then director of the Henan Provincial Sports Commission (later the first director of the Wushu Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sports), entrusted Chi Meilin, deputy director of the Henan Provincial Sports Committee, to talk to him because of his years of understanding and inspection, and because of his many years of understanding and inspection, he was very important to Liang Yiquan's martial arts, character and ability. In order to promote the development of Henan's martial arts cause, the Provincial Sports Committee decided to transfer him to the Henan Provincial Wushu Gymnasium as deputy director.
After much deliberation, he decided to give up the opportunity. He has been obsessed with martial arts for decades, dedicated himself to martial arts for half a lifetime, and has always wanted to open a high-level martial arts school in Dengfeng, where the martial arts style is strong.
In 1979, Mr. Liang Yiquan (front row left), Mr. Yang Jucai (front row right), Chen Xiaowang (back row left), and Zhu Tiancai (back row right) represented Henan in the quanquan
After sincerely telling Zhang Yaoting and relevant leaders about his practical difficulties and ideas, the province comprehensively considered and coordinated with many parties, and finally appointed Liang Yiquan as the deputy director of the Henan Provincial Wushu Gymnasium, who was concurrently the director and chief coach of the Shaolin Temple Wushu Gymnasium in Dengfeng County.
In the spring of 1988, Liang Yiquan officially took up his post at the Shaolin Temple Martial Arts Hall, and his third venture was officially launched. On April 5 of that year, the museum held a grand opening ceremony. Shaolin Temple Wushu Hall is located on the east side of the Shaolin Temple, the architectural style is simple and elegant, the construction area of 72,000 square meters, all kinds of modern facilities are readily available, set martial arts education, tourism visits, foreign affairs reception, large-scale martial arts exhibition and other functions in one, at that time was relatively avant-garde and first-class.
The college enrolled more than 400 students as soon as it was established, and the following year it expanded the number of students to nearly 1,000. Students from all over the country have come to visit the teacher, and students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and more than 10 countries as far as the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and Japan have also come one after another.
In 1992, during the second Zhengzhou International Shaolin Martial Arts Festival in China, Rong Gaotang (left), former director of the State Sports Commission, personally awarded two excellent awards to Mr. Liang Yiquan (right).
From 1988 to 1990, Liang Yiquan led the performance team of the museum to perform martial arts for Qiao Shi, Li Desheng, Li Tieying and other party and state leaders. It is even more difficult to count the number of important Chinese and foreign groups that come to visit every day.
In October 1988, Liang Yiquan represented Henan in the China International Wushu Festival held in Hangzhou, and in recognition of his outstanding achievements and contributions in the cause of martial arts and the excavation and collation of martial arts, the organizing committee of the conference specially awarded him a special contribution award.
In the winter of 1990, Liang Yiquan considered that he was 60 years old, wrote a report to the Sports Committee, applied for a leave of absence, and continued to struggle for the development of the martial arts cause that he had dedicated decades to continue to cultivate martial arts talents for the country.
The report was sent, and Wang Xin, secretary of the county party committee, and Shi Yingwu, deputy secretary of the county party committee, also talked to him several times, "You are a senior coach, and the talent with senior titles can work until the age of 65, and work for a few more years to lay the foundation for the development of Dengfeng martial arts." The director of the sports committee also sincerely retained him. Liang put the overall situation first, and finally stayed and continued to adhere to dedication.
In December 1995, Mr. Liang Yiquan (front row, center) was awarded the title of "Top Ten Martial Arts Masters" in contemporary China at the National Wushu Work Conference
At that time, the county sports school once again fell into a trough, there were only a few dozen students, the classrooms and dormitories were in tatters, the roof was exposed, the toilets were half collapsed to cover people, and the sports committee had little funds and could not be repaired. Liang Yiquan told the person in charge of the county sports committee that in order to run the sports school well, it is necessary to clearly divide the responsibilities and rights, and Liang can contract the sports school, pay the fee to the sports committee every year, and report to the sports committee on a regular basis, and the sports committee fully supports his work. The county sports committee then agreed to Liang Yiquan's proposal and signed a contract agreement.
Subsequently, Liang borrowed 170,000 yuan and quickly revitalized the sports school. In less than two years, the number of students in the sports school exceeded 1,000, and the loan was quickly repaid.
In 1992, Liang Yiquan, the year of Hua Jia, represented the Chinese Zhengzhou team in the second China Zhengzhou International Shaolin Martial Arts Festival, and he showed the martial arts and majestic atmosphere with the rare weapon Shaolin Abduction and the Liang family's ancestral Shaolin Long Fist performance.
The gate of the Wuyuan of Goose Slope, according to legend, was the place where large flocks of swans soared in the Ming Dynasty
Liang was energized in a white exercise suit, holding a Shaolin crutch, striding onto the big red carpet. He was full of energy and eloquence, and he won applause from the first time he appeared.
The Shaolin Abduction is a very rare weapon, which is said to have been created by the military master Sun Zhen in the Warring States Period, and later integrated into the systematic practice by the Shaolin School and continuously improved. At that time, in Dengfeng, those who could practice Shaolin abduction, except for Liang Yiquan, were afraid that they could not find a second person.
In 1993, Liang Yiquan received a special government allowance from the State Council, and only Liang Yiquan received this treatment in the martial arts and sports circles of Dengfeng.

Over 60 years old, the goose slope model has become a model
In 1995, at the age of 64, he officially retired, but once again set off a storm of entrepreneurship and devoted himself to the establishment of the Epo Wuyuan.
Since the 1980s, the tide of martial arts scholars from all over the world has surged to Dengfeng, and the local private martial arts schools and martial arts gym schools have also exploded. By the time Liang Yiquan left, although the Private Martial Arts Industry in Dengfeng had undergone several ups and downs, there were still more than 50 martial arts schools, and at this time it could be called a combination of heroes and heroes.
Liang was full of calm and self-confidence, and he had long been determined to run a unique national first-class martial arts school and realize his long-cherished wish for decades. He took out all his savings of 80,000 yuan, and borrowed money from relatives and friends, raising a total of 210,000 yuan. Subsequently, he rented the small courtyard and all the houses of the Dengfeng County Education Bureau Production Materials Company, and transformed them into classrooms, dormitories, canteens, and martial arts halls. Various training equipment, teaching facilities, as well as coaches and teachers of cultural classes are also in place.
In November 2014, 640 Goose Slope students performed Chinese drum culture for 21 heads of state at the APEC Beijing Summit
On April 10, 1995, the Shaolin Martial Arts Training Institute was officially opened. At first, the school had just over 100 students, but in 1996 it grew to more than 300 and by 1997 it had grown to more than 500.
At the same time as the rapid development of the school, Liang Yiquan soberly saw that renting a house to run a school is only a temporary measure, and if you want to "build a hundred years of tree people", you must have your own base. Just like when he opened the country's first martial arts school nearly 20 years ago, he almost traveled all over Dengfeng City and finally chose The Slope Ridge in the western suburbs. The hillside is backed by Song Mountain, the slope is evergreen in Berlin all year round, and the traffic is convenient facing the 207 National Highway. Liang Yiquan hammered the tone: This is it, don't look at the goose slope is now overgrown, the future will be prosperous.
In June 1995, Liang Yiquan bought 12 acres of land in Epoling and broke ground in August of that year. In May 1997, the new campus was completed. In August of that year, the "Shaolin Wushu Training Institute" officially moved to Goose Slope and was renamed Shaolin Goose Slope Martial Arts Training Institute. He said that Goose Slope is where swans soar, and he wants his students to become beautiful white swans. After moving to Goose Slope, the number of students plummeted. In 1998, Liang Yiquan acquired 20 acres of land behind the school and built a teaching building and a staff dormitory building. In 2002, the school acquired 50 acres of land in the east... Up to now, Epo Wuyuan covers an area of 500,000 square meters, becoming a first-class martial arts school in China with a large scale and complete teaching and training facilities.
