Mark Raugas · 饒静思

I am a practitioner of traditional internal martial arts and Japanese swordsmanship based in Seattle, Washington.

I study Northern Wú style Taijiquan, Yin style Baguazhang, and Hebei Xingyi Quan as a formal student of Zhang Yun, accepted into the Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America lineage in 2015.

Yueshan-guan [月山 館; "Moon Mountain Hall"] is the name of my internal martial arts training activity as recorded under in the register of Yin Cheng Gong Fa practitioners.

I also studied Kashima-shinden Jikishinkage-ryū kenjutsu at the Hōbyōkan [宝瓶館] under David A. Hall, reaching the level of chuden in 2018.

In Seattle, I mentor a small kenjutsu study group that practices the historical kata of Jikishinkage-ryū, relating those approaches to the tactics of other arts, and engages in free practice called jigeiko.

饒静思
 

 

百物先地天 無形本為寂
能著像主不 逐四時泪寥

There is something before heaven and earth, formless and silent.
It can manifest all things and does not wither with the seasons.
