內家

I am a formal lineal student of internal martial arts as part of Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America under Zhang Yun laoshi, who studied under the late Grandmaster Wang Peisheng. Arts I practice include Cheng, Liu & Yin style Baguazhang, Hebei style Xingyiquan, Northern Wu style Taijiquan and Baiyuan Tongbeiquan.

兵法

I studied several approaches to classical Japanese swordsmanship before moving to Seattle in 2016. Chief among them was an unofficial line of Kashima-shinden Jikishinkage-ryū maintained at the Hōbyōkan following the teachings of Namiki Yasushi and Itō Masayuki. Since that time I have continued traditional katageiko, conducted analyses of kata in a process called kuzushi and performed combative pressure testing called tameshi-ai. I have adopted the name shin-no-shinkage heihō in order to clearly delineate my approach from that of others.
