My interest in the Chinese internal martial arts began in 1994 and has continued and deepened since then and expanded to include the study of Mandarin and Chinese calligraphy. I would like to be able to learn from and contribute to The Dao Bums forum. My specific interests include Wudang Taijiquan, Baguazhang, Liuhebafa, Dabeiquan, Yan Qing Quan, and weapons, especially straight sword. My teacher is Liu Xiaoling, who was a long-time disciple of Pei Xirong.
