He was also known as Li Feiyu, Li Nengran, Li Laonong, and Li Neng Jang, and was nicknamed "Divine Fist Li". He learned the [[neijia|internal]] [[martial art]] of Xinyiquan (Heart and Intention Boxing) from Dai Wenxiong, son of [[Dai Long Bang]], and later modified the style into [[Xingyiquan]] (Form and Intention Boxing). By 1836, he had already excelled in the martial arts of [[Tongbeiquan|Tongbei]] and [[Changquan|Gongliquan]].<ref>{{cite web| title=Old Farmer Li| author=Wu Dianke and Cheng Suren| url=http://www.smilingtiger.net/Laonong.html| accessdate=August 30, 2009}}</ref> In order to learn Xinyi, he traveled to [[Shanxi]] to study with Dai Wenxiong. Initially, Dai Wenxiong refused to teach the newcomer. Li found a plot of land and started a farm so he could stay in town. He grew vegetables, and every day he would deliver his product to market, but to the Dai family he would deliver produce free of charge. This display of determination persuaded Dai Wenxiong to take him on as a student. Li Luoneng practiced with Master Dai for ten years, and went on to become one of the best-known Xingyi Masters of his time, as well a popularizer of the art.<ref>{{cite book|author=Li Guang Xiang|title=The Essence of Xin Yi|year=1895}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Frantzis|first=Bruce|title=The Power of Internal Martial Arts and Chi: Combat and Energy Secrets of Ba Gua, Tai Chi and Hsing-I|type=Paperback|date=August 7, 2007|publisher=Blue Snake Books|isbn=978-1-58394-190-4|pages=432}}</ref> Li Luoneng introduced a number of variations to the style he learned from his teacher. He replaced the splitting fist [[piguaquan]] with a palm strike. He also changed the name ''xin''yi (''Heart'' and intention boxing) to ''xing''yi (''Form'' and intention boxing).<ref>{{cite web| title=Legends surrounding the Origins of some of the Oldest Schools of Martial Science| url=http://crane.50megs.com/index6a.html| accessdate=August 28, 2009| url-status=dead| archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120709070709/http://crane.50megs.com/index6a.html| archivedate=July 9, 2012}}</ref> Later he had a number of students, the most famous of which was [[Guo Yunshen]]. Guo Yunshen in turn was the teacher of [[Wang Xiangzhai]], who popularized the [[qigong]] exercise known as [[zhan zhuang]] (post standing). jakkskkskdldlz ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Chinese xingyiquan practitioners]] [[Category:Neijia]] [[Category:People from Hengshui]] [[Category:1888 deaths]] [[Category:Sportspeople from Hebei]] [[Category:1807 births]]'
