Internal Martial Arts

Yuèshān-guan [ 月山館; Moon Mountain Hall ] is a training activity near Seattle led by Mark Raugas that is concerned with the development of skill at internal martial arts. Its name can be read as Gassankan in Japanese.

Bagua, Xingyi and Taiji

I practice Chinese internal martial arts passed down through Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America [ 印誠功法 ] by Zhang Yun laoshi, including: Northern Wú style Taijiquan [ 吳氏太極拳 ], Yin style Baguazhang [ 尹派八卦掌 ] and Hebei Xingyiquan [ 冀形意拳 ].

From time to time, I work with experienced martial artists interested in the above.

Japanese Swordsmanship

I studied Jiki Shinkage-ryū kenjutsu at the Hōbyōkan [ 宝瓶 館 ].

I now work with a small number of people in Seattle to continue my practice of kenjutsu in a manner that is informed by internal martial arts principles.

Additional information, including how to express interest in training, can be found at Jiki at Lonin.

百物先天地 無形本寂為
能著像主不 逐四時泪寥

There is something before heaven and earth, formless and silent. It can manifest all things and does not wither with the seasons.

臨兵鬥者皆陣列前行

Lín bīng dòu zhě jiē zhèn liè qián xíng
May all those who preside over warriors be my vanguard.
