Hi guys,
Really appreciate the feedback! It seems like there is some good stuff going on:-) I always thought that Portland would be the kind of place with a good scene, even for CMA.
Jaime, thanks a bunch for the offer:-) Right now my moving plans aren't finalized, but I will definitely give you a ring if and when I'm there. Actually my intention is to open my own school somewhere. I taught Qi Xing Tanglang in Germany, and now teach it in Shanghai as well as train Hebei XingYi and Wu Taiji. My teaching definitely emphasizes the martial side, both in terms of combatives/self defense, and even sport fighting (Sanda/MMA), although I do also teach the standard forms. Do you think there is room or demand for a school like that both in terms of focus and style (Tanglang and XingYi)?
Also, I've been reading so much about Portland recently, and although I've never been there, it just seems like a great place to live. Any thoughts or advice for a would-be Portlander?
Thanks a bunch,
Antony
