太極拳

Taijiquan

I began training in Gao lineage baguazhang in Maryland in late 2004 and over time was introduced to a number of traditional groups practicing near Washington, DC. I began training in Northern Wu style Taijiquan, and the Yin and Liu styles of Baguazhang under Paul Cote in 2005 and then with his teacher Zhang Yun in Pittsburgh in 2008. I became a formal lineal student of these arts under Zhang Yun laoshi in Princeton, NJ during the summer of 2015.

Today, I continue my study of traditional Bagua, Xingyi, and Taiji as part of Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America. My school is recorded under the name Yuèshān Guǎn [ 月山館 ] in the catalogue of Yin Cheng Gong Fa practitioners — I emphasize classical Taijiquan and traditional Chinese weapons in my practice. I practice Taijiquan in a traditional manner — training is conducted on an individual basis and is usually held outdoors in natural settings.
