teaching bagua again...

Postby meeks on Sat May 23, 2009 10:33 pm

not sure of how many (or few) of you guys live in Vancouver/Burnaby/North Vancouver district ...

Going to be renting space at a church 2x a week (evenings) as well as Saturday mornings at my warehouse in Burnaby. Cheng style Bagua classes only - heavy focus on locks n throws (it's the cheng ting hua in me). While there are 'some' forms I might bring up from time to time, the classes are 100% 2 man drill oriented. As a start up, I'm only asking for enough funds to pay for the church space and some basic mats, which is dirt cheap.

if interested, email me for details. if you're just looking for weight loss, 'finding yourself', or picking my brains please look elsewhere - I'm only interested in teaching guys/girls how to take care of business. Apart from that, I welcome anyone with an open attitude and diligence.

Man I'm not anywhere near you but I wish you the best of luck with your classes. If I hear of anyone seeking instruction in canadia, I'll send them your way.

All the best

teach/practice is the way to go in my opinion.

So I'm thinking you should move to Boston, meeks.

"Some forms I might bring up from time to time."

What sacrilage - what idiocy! - is this???

Meeks, you cleary have no idea about IMA. Forms, qigong, mysticism and a dash philosopy - all served in silk jammies - THAT is the traditional way, and THAT is how the mighty warriors of yore achieved the skill to leap over roofs, drop legions of attackers, wrestle bulls, slay dragons, shag virgins, quaff bars dry, etc, etc.

You, young man, are strongly advised to going back to your true calling - tattooing people's arses.

Great to hear you're teaching again. My plate is a little on the full side at the moment, but some time (in the coming months?) I will drop you a line.

I've nailed down a location - it's at a yoga studio on 1st street at lonsdale in north vancouver.

no worry about coming by later (in the coming months) - I'm super out of shape right now, so I need to work this as hard as I work the students before I can start rockin' it again...
