Northern Wu Style Taiji Quan

Yuè shān guǎn [ 月山館 ] is a private training activity led by Mark Raugas in Seattle focused on the development of skill at traditional approaches to internal martial arts. I am a lineal student of Zhang Yun as part of Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America. My formal baishi ceremony was held in 2015 in Princeton, NJ, with Clayton Shiu and Paul Cote as my sponsors.

Schedule of Instruction

Private instruction available.

From time to time I work with experienced martial artists seeking to deepen their understanding of traditional approaches to internal martial arts practice. Training is generally held outdoors in the Seattle metro area. Training is by invitation only — please email for more information.
