The Gassankan [月山館; also read Yuè Shān Guǎn] is a private training activity near Seattle led by Mark Raugas that is concerned with traditional, especially internal, martial arts practice.

I studied Kashima-shinden Jikishinkage-ryū heihō kenjutsu at the Hōbyōkan [宝瓶館] under David Hall, reaching the level of chuden in 2018. I now mentor a small group that meets as part of Lonin League, a martial arts cooperative in Seattle.

I practice Northern Wú lineage Taijiquan [吳氏太極拳], Yin style Baguazhang [尹派八卦掌] and Hebei Xingyi Quan [冀形意拳] in lineages preserved by Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America.

Please consult the reading list for published reference material I recommend, including some work that resulted from the Inner Dharma writing project. There is also some photography available from martial arts events and my travels to Japan. I may be reached via email at the address below.
