A martial system in active development. Founded by Pedro Barros (Sultan Assad Abd-Al-Ghalib). The philosophy of the illuminated warrior.
Pedro Barros — martial artist, teacher, and founder of the Yangyiquan system. Trained in China's martial lineages and self-healing arts.
Pedro Barros has spent more than two decades studying Chinese internal and external martial arts under verified lineages. Under Shifu Diogo Sant'Ana, he trained in Yang Taijiquan, Chen Taijiquan and Nanquan. Under Sensei Carmindo Paiva, he deepened his foundations in Karate Shukokai.
From this rigorous base he developed a personal synthesis — Yangyiquan — a living system that he continues to refine through daily practice and teaching. The system is honestly presented as a work in active development, not a closed canon.
Based in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. The Yangyiquan Kung Fu Self Defense Association International is in its early institutional phase.
Like many Chinese martial traditions, Yangyiquan organizes its work around three interconnected principles. The Sifu's specific synthesis and naming defines the system's character.
"Yangyiquan is not a finished collection of techniques. It is a living practice — one that I continue to study, refine and share. What I offer is what I know, honestly transmitted."
