Inner Dharma

Inner Dharma is a writing project that began in 2006 due to my interest in Buddhism and Daoism. It grew over time to examine the relationship between those philosophies and classical martial practices from China and Japan.

I practice internal martial arts as part of Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America. I also have studied several approaches to kobudō, including Kashima-shinden Jiki Shinkage-ryū heihō kenjutsu [兵法剣術] at the Hōbyōkan under David Hall — more details can be found at jikishinkageryu.org.

I want to thank all those who provided feedback and encouragement over a period of twenty years. I continue my practice in the Pacific Northwest.
