Hello everyone.
I have been doing a family style of Xingyiquan, called "Wuji style Xingyiquan. I have been doing this for the better part of 16 years (I started learning from my Shifu when I was 9), though he past away a few years ago. Xingyi is my life and I enjoy it very much, I hope to teach martial arts for a living in the future when finances allow. Outside of that, I hope to start learning Tajiquan in the future, preferably Chen style, and a Gao style Baguazhang from a friend of mine. I don't know which will come first, that really depends on the time. Though I would like to offer all three classes at the studio I plan to open up.
Besides that, I have a second degree black belt in TKD, though I haven't done anything with that in many years (sense I started really pursuing using and trying to understand Xingyiquan more). I have 6 months of training in Wing Chun, going rather frequently, and I enjoyed it. Though after 6 months I think I have enough of an understanding to practice a lot of it on my own from instructional material, and meeting with my teacher once a month now (just to make sure what I'm doing is right).
Outside of martial arts, I play a few games, but I'm mostly a family man. I work construction right now so most of my time is taken up through out the week. Though in the future I plan on opening up a school and hopefully quitting the day job if everything goes how I'm hoping it does. Anyway, I think that is enough for an introduction.
