Moon Mountain Hall

Inner Dharma

Inner Dharma was a writing project concerned with classical and traditional martial arts that was maintained between 2004 and 2024. Some of its content is now available in published form elsewhere online and can be found among the reference material. I want to thank all the readers who provided feedback and encouragement over the last twenty years.

Moon Mountain Hall

I practice the Northern Wú ( ) style of Taijiquan, Yin () style of Baguazhang and Hebei () style of Xingyiquan as taught in formal lineages preserved by Yin Cheng Gong Fa (YCGF) North America. Yuèshān-guan [ 山月館; "Moon Mountain Hall" ] is the name associated to my ongoing training in internal martial arts as listed in the YCGF register. I place a strong emphasis on the practice of traditional methods of sword, saber and spear in my training.

百物先天地 無形本寂為
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.
