月山館

Inner Dharma is a blog concerned with traditional martial arts and culture, especially internal martial arts and classical swordsmanship. I want to thank its readers for their feedback and encouragement over the last twenty years.

Moon Mountain Hall or Yuè Shān Guan (月山館) is a private training activity in the Pacific Northwest. I am a formal lineal student of traditional Bagua, Xingyi, and Taiji under Zhang Yun laoshi, disciple of the late grandmaster Wang Peisheng, as part of Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America (YCGF).

I also trained in classical kenjutsu, including Kashima-shinden Jikishinkage-ryū kenjutsu at the Hōbyōkan, before moving to Seattle in 2016. I then worked with a small number of people in order to maintain my practice. Two of my students now lead Jiki at Lonin in SODO.
