Also, just to clerify, The Long Pole and Spear is being taught as a regular class, at least for the next year or two. It is a great system passed down from Li Shu Wen. Baji is not required for this although it would be helpful. This will add power to whatever system you study.

Maybe if we do an article on bagua, I will be in it. Jim is also in the new issue, in an article on piqua, if you haven't seen it.
