The road less travelled

[Field Cricket]

I hope one of you knowledgeable people will be able to help me with something: I am trying to find a Baguazhang instructor in my area (Leeds/York) who teaches the art in full (and is willing to take on new students).

Several people I have spoken to have said that they've heard of someone in Leeds who does, but they don't know any specifics. Do any of you know more?

All help appreciated! :)

Alex Kozma (http://www.lineofintent.com/martial/home.htm) teaches Gong style bagua in Wales. He would know if there is anyone worth learning from in your area.

Thankyou for that. I'll be sure to follow that up.

That being said, if anyone else knows anything, feel free to contribute! :)

Aarvo Tucker (I believe) teaches bagua in the Manchester area (which is at least in the North). Phone number, 01428 741 044. Not sure how up to date this info is but its worth a try. His e-mail is aarvo@aol.com. I've never met him or any of his students but he may be able to help. Happy hunting.

Funny, both those guys post over at the empty Flower forum. (http://www.emptyflower.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi/YaBB.cgi?board=Xing) Guess that's just a nicer place to the Brits.:D

theres bound to be an erle montague family class nearby, but i'd recommend u give it a miss, actaully go and see it then give it a miss, no idea where it would be... Bob10 should be able to help with this query as he gave me the contact details of a xing yi instructor in goole which is close, pm me if you want these details.

Well I didn't say it's the only place, just nicer.

Cheers ;)

PS: I heard Alex Kozma's bagua teacher from Taiwan, He Jing Han is doing some intensives over there in August. It would be worth your effort to get there.

I'll drop Alex an e-mail and get some details.

In reply to Count's message, I checked Alex Kozma's website. The bagua seminars with his teacher are
14-17th August, evening sessions in London
24-26 August Retreat in Wales
