the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

Hi folks,

Looks like I'm moving to Boulder co. Would love to connect with anyone passionate about exploring these arts. If your out that way let me know.

Cheers
Derek

Oh, man, you're gonna hate Boulder. It's a bunch of hippies...

Hey, Derek.

There's a Yizong enclave in Boulder.

Best,

S

Yeah check out the guys at Boulder Yi Zong. Owen and the guys have a great group of folks training in Gao Style Ba Gua Zhang.

You're coming back to where it all started.

JB's coming in October.

I'd think that Rusty and the NM crew will be coming up here.

Mario S. contacted me awhile back and wants to start doing Yin style, so I'm going to try and get him to come.

What's your ETA?

.

Gary R. (RBSD/Bagua) is in the area, as is iWalkTheCircle (Shuai Jiao), along with Fisherman (Gao Bagua), and of course Devlin. I'm in the area, too, but I wouldn't recommend training with me as I'm of low skill and generally unpleasant to be around (whether it's the smell or personality that's more offensive is up for debate).

There are Yizong folks outside of the Boulder group who are excellent as well. There's also a bunch of Uncle Bill's students (Kuntao-Silat), some IMA guys from the Tang Shou Tao (sp?) lineage who are top-notch, at least three great Chen style teachers, one of Eric Ling's students, a few MMA gyms with active pros, fencing taught by Olympians, Aiki Jujitsu, Feeding Crane, pioneers in adrenal stress training, internationally recognized self-defense experts, and probably a bunch more that I don't know about. We used to have a great Eagle Claw guy, but he got arthritis and moved to Nevada. You might be the only Xinyi guy, though...

Thanks for info ! Yes Devlin, looking forward to returning that way and revisiting my ysb roots! I w I'll definitely be in touch. Hoping to be out there by July. I also look forward to connecting with you bhassler, you show great clarity, insight and humor. Look forward to connecting with all. Thanks!

There's definitely a good group of people around!
Hit me up when you get out here. I've got a great little place to train outside of Boulder.

Thanks. Looking forward to it.

I am in boulder and after all that driving am keen to get out and move if anyone is around and would like to connect and train let me know. [email protected]

Hey, Derek.

Just FYI, my current teacher does seminar with the Gao enclave there in Boulder every so often. He's a super good guy and his ability to explain deep concepts relating to functional Bagua and Hsing-i in plain English is really quite amazing.

Anyway, if you get a chance to I'm saying he's really worth it.

Best,

S
