Internal Martial Arts

Yuèshān-guan [月山館; "Moon Mountain Hall"] is the name of my practice of Chinese internal martial arts — this includes Hebei Xíngyìquán, Northern Wú () Tàijíquán, and Yin () Bāguàzhǎng as taught by Zhang Yun laoshi in Yin Cheng Gong Fa (YCGF) North America. YCGF Pittsburgh maintains a very nice list of forms — my practice is centered around portions of the curriculum listed there.

Japanese Swordsmanship

I studied portions of the curricula of several koryū before moving to Seattle, most important of which has been Kashima Shinden Jikishinkage-ryū kenjutsu. I learned that art from David Hall and then worked with a small group to maintain my practice using the name Gassankan [ 月山館 ].
