Hey Long Islanders:

I will be teaching an introductory series in Baguazhang as 4 monthly workshops in Huntington, NY. The workshops will be from 7:00 - 9:30pm on the second Friday of each month (4/11, 5/9, 6/13, & 7/11). The series will cover Basic Circle Walking, 2-person drills, and the 8 Palm Changes of Lao Ba Zhang (Old Eight Palms).

The cost is $110 for the series (10 hours of instruction), or $35 per workshop for 'drop ins'.

Based on the turnout and student interest, additional sessions or a weekly class will be considered in the fall.

Pete.

Ba Gua is catching on! Good mix of returning students and newcomers, experienced martial artists, instructors of other styles, and novices alike. Some looking to begin Bagua training in earnest, others looking for ideas to enhance their primary style... whatever your story may be, there is something for everyone, learning and training in a supportive, fun, yet challenging environment.

** Next workshop, June 13th: Fire and Water palms.

Just to publicly answer some questions I've already been asked privately:
yes, newcomers are welcome to begin at any time, including 6/13 workshop.
no, experience in another martial style is not necessary.
yes, there is ample time for the practice of martial applications in addition to learning the form and exploring the energetic qualities of each change matrix.
style: this set comes down through the Cheng Ting Hua style of Baguazhang, as taught by Jiang Rong Qiao

I can't make Friday, and didn't see this earlier, but I'd be very interested if you do some more of these in the fall :D
