hi, I was just reading in the forum and saw that you pratice bagua. Where is it that you live and can find an instructor? Wold you think it is an art that you could begin to do the basics on your own with getting to see an instructor not that often? I have been reading a bunch about it, but the closest instructors for me would be NYC anad that about 5 hours away. If you answer, cool, if not cool. Justin
