Internal Martial Arts

Yuèshān-guan [月山館; "Moon Mountain Hall"] is the name of my practice of Chinese internal martial arts as part of Yin Cheng Gong Fa (YCGF) North America. This includes Hebei Xíngyìquán, Northern Wú (吳) Tàijíquán, and Yin (尹) Bāguàzhǎng. I began training in internal martial arts in 2004 and became the 40th lineal student of Zhang Yun laoshi in 2015.

YCGF Pittsburgh now maintains a very nice list of forms — my practice is centered around portions of the curriculum listed there. Please email for more information for training opportunities in the Pacific Northwest.
