My name is Erick and I'm doing Bagua and Taiji in Austin, TX.
Welcome to EF Erick. Who are you training with out there?

It's pretty hard to find anyone who is teaching Bagua in this area, but I'm learning Yin Style with Kuan Wang.
I was pretty skeptical at first, but it's actually working out very well.
Not only is Lion system helping me understand power generation, it's toning my body (inside and outside) up something serious.
It's also doing some crazy, and welcome things to my Taiji (which was always a little too 'squishy').

Dragon is pretty awesome - and it makes sense that it would be attractive to people who like Cheng and Gao
Overall, I'm pretty new to practicing Bagua, but my build seems well suited to phoenix. I'm very long-limbed, wiry and of average height so it's very inspiring to see the videos of Dr. Xie toying with guys 1/3rd his age. Otherwise, I'm really looking forward to getting into Kirin as well.
The main thing that got me interested in Bagua was the amazing footwork and moving root that Bagua guys develop, and I'm learning/developing a great deal practicing this stuff.
Anyway, it's great to meet everyone too!

My is Reinaldo. I love in Puyallup, WA, about 40 min south of Seattle.
I practice yang style taijiquan (for about 12 years now) and been training in xingyiquan, on and off, for about 4 or 5 years now, but I've gotten a lot more serious about it lately.
I am currently deployed to Iraq with the USARMY, which will explain why I post at such weird hours of the night.
I've known this site for a while now, and I always read on it as a guest, but now I finally have the time to actually post on it and participate a little more. There are a lo of knowledgeable people on here and hopefully I can learn a thing or two from you guys to better my training.
thank you for reading.

My name is Troy. I have been studying and practicing martial arts for over 15 years now; which includes mostly Jeet Kune Do and Yang Taijiquan. I live in Southern California, and I am going to school for my degree in Human Biology and then on to Chiropractics.

My name is Erikson, and I am from Brasil. I have been practicing martial arts for around ten years, and have settled with Hung Gar for the last four.
Unfortunatly, there aren't many good teachers near (or even a little further) from where a live, specially when it comes to the internal styles. So, I am trying to take advantage from EmptyFlower's virtual Kwoon to learn some traditional GongFu, some hardcore BaGuaZhang!
Let's see if I can survive this. =-)
