太極拳

I am a lineal student of Chinese internal martial arts under the line of practice preserved in Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America by Zhang Yun laoshi and his senior instructors. This includes Yin style Bagua Zhang, Hebei style Xingyi Quan, Northern Wu style Taiji Quan and associated methods of sword (jian), saber (dao) and spear (qiang). From time to time, I have mentored experienced martial artists in aspects of internal martial arts.
