Inner Dharma

Inner Dharma was a writing project maintained by Mark Raugas concerned with classical and traditional martial arts and culture. I want to thank all those who provided feedback and encouragement over the last twenty years. I have two books that resulted from this project and am working on a separate study of Shugendō and classical martial traditions.

Moon Mountain Hall

Yuèshān-guan (月山館; “Moon Mountain Hall”) is the name of my internal martial arts practice. The same characters are read Gassankan in Japanese – that is the name I use to refer to my continued practice of jūjutsu and kenjutsu.
