Gassankan Jūjutsu

  1. At the time I was teaching in Baltimore – Inner Dharma is a play on words as we used to meet at the Inner Harbor and Federal Hill park to work out. I suspended teaching my class as it was still at the introductory level and I did not want to waste peoples’ time. I visited senior pracitioners in MN and colleagues in FL to finish passing on what I did know and then worked with only one colleague in MD. I shared with him the Gao Bagua I was learning and we eventually developed our own approach to Aikidō that merged techniques I had practiced in NYC with more sophisticated body mechanics and tactics from Baguazhang.
