Hi everyone. I'm pleased to be here. I have been studying Chinese Martial Arts since I was 11 years old. I started out with Xingyi and Bagua, then I learned Cheng Man-ching's Yang short form, I then moved on to learn the Sun Style of Taijiquan, the Sun Style Swordplay, Striking Hand, Sun's Baguazhang, and the Swordplay he invented for that. Unlike many internal martial artists I have been quite active in sparring (San Shou) for over a decade. The biggest thing I've learned I suppose is that the only secret to martial arts skill is practice. I look forward to meeting all of you.
