Bagua, Xingyi and Taiji

Yuèshān-guan [ 月山館; Moon Mountain Hall ] is a private training activity near Seattle led by Mark Raugas that is centered around the cultivation of skill at traditional approaches to Chinese internal martial arts passed down through Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America [ 印誠功法 ].

Japanese Swordsmanship

Yuèshān-guan is read as Gassankan in Japanese — I also maintain a practice of medieval Japanese sword methods drawn from the lines of Shinkage-ryū Heihō taught at the Hōbyōkan [ 宝瓶館 ] as informed by a continued study of internal martial arts.

Mark Raugas

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.
