Any He jin bao yin style line practioners around?

[Joe L.]

Hey all,
I've been curious about this line for a while, and am wondering about any players of this line in and around the northeast USA area?

Any worth mention, either teaching publicly or just trains hard and worth visiting?

I bought the pheonix dvd (basic training 2 disc set, etc.) a few years back to see what the style had to offer, and I've been interested since. Having just recently refound the thing, and watching it a bit more in depth I'm more curious to seek out some practitioners of this style. Aside from what I saw, how did you go about learning the style? Did your teacher start you out with basics of a certain animal, or is there a base jibengong curriculum before you delve into a certain animal?

Any info would be awesome. Thanks.

Here's a map with some study groups: http://www.yinstylebaguazhang.com/local ... s_usa.html

The basic animal is the lion or qian trigram as it is 3 solid lines and learning to move the waist (dantian), shoulders, and hands together and it has the jibengong in the form of lion rolling the ball exercises, which is very similar to other bagua styles jibengong and taiji silk-reeling exercises.

The phoenix should be learned preferrably after the lion as it's the 'xun' trigram, broken-line on the bottom, and moves the shoulder/ and arm independent of the body until the moment of impact, when the hand and dantian (sacrum tucking) arrive at the same time, so one needs to have already learned how to unify the hand with the dantian otherwise they could be searching for something they will never find if just doing the methods of the phoenix. If you've already done another IMA and know this (the 3 arrivals), then picking up the phoenix shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Hope that helps.

Awesine D Glenn, Thanks.

Seems most of the practitioners are 3 hours or so above me (I'm in northeast Pennsylvania at the moment).

Since they don't seem to be too far apart, do you have any experience with the teachers personally listed? Or know which one if you have a decent foundation in IMA/CMA would be ok with jumping you past lion?

Again, any info is helpful, and thanks again.

Here are a couple of clips from practitioners that I believe are from Ann Arbor Michigan:

AODRHINO (1 year ago) Show Hide 0 Marked as spam Reply Cool! Richard was my instructor a few years ago, when he was just learning bagua, I had studied bagua before but not YSB. He is a very good teacher,I had an ankle injury and job hour changes so I had to stop training with him but I bought the tapes of the Lion system so I could train on my own. When you see him tell him John (the black guy with the pony tail) said HI! I hope he is ok and I miss training with him,I'll come see him as soon as I can.
