Yuèshān-guan [
I maintain a formal practice of traditional Wu (
I also have trained in traditional sword methods from Japan, including surviving lines of Shinkage-ryū such as Jiki Shinkage-ryū — that art in particular was influenced by Ming dynasty Chinese sword practices and I attempt to practice it in a manner that is consistent with my knowledge of internal martial arts principles. Yuèshān-guan is read as Gassankan in Japanese. I practice kenjutsu independently and mentor a small group in Seattle.
