Moon Mountain Hall

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.

I practice the Northern Wú style of Taijiquan [ 吳氏太極拳 ], Yin style Baguazhang [ 尹派八卦掌 ] and Hebei Xingyi Quan [ 冀形意拳 ] 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 as listed in the YCGF register.

I also have studied classical Japanese sword methods, including those related to Kashima-shinden Jikishin Kage-ryū [ 鹿島神傳直心影流 ], before moving to Seattle in 2016. The same characters used in the name Yuèshān-guan are read as Gassankan in that context.

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.
