Inner Dharma is a writing project concerned with classical and traditional martial arts and culture maintained by Mark Raugas [ 饒静思; ]. I want to thank all of its readers who provided feedback and encouragement over a period of twenty years.

I practice classical and traditional martial arts in the Pacific Northwest — especially the Chinese internal martial arts taught as part of Yin Cheng Gong Fa (YCGF) North America. This includes Hebei Xíngyìquán, Northern Wú (吳) Tàijíquán, and Yin (尹) Bāguàzhǎng. Yuèshān-guan [月山館; "Moon Mountain Hall"] is the name of my practice as recorded in the register of YCGF members. I place a strong empashis on following classical teachings and on preserving traditional methods of sword, saber, and spear.

Gassankan is the Japanese reading of Yuèshān-guan. I have practiced several approaches to Japanese swordsmanship — much of my writing on Inner Dharma has been concerned with those interests and how they changed over time. Please visit jikishinkageryu.org for more information.
