Pakua New York school

[shaolinboxer]

Thank you for that reply. I am interested in Ba Gua in particular at the moment...just beginning my investigation.

One of my training partners in aikido (he is far more advanced than I in aikido) has studied bagua, and I find the forms to be very interesing.

I think that one strong area of weakness in the training process of aikido is that there are no extended solo forms, and I am interested in learning forms (and ofcourse applications) from other internal styles.

FYI, forms in aikido are found in weapons kata...but I love empty hand forms.

I did not mention tai chi as I have some experience with it already.

Thanks again.

Count, I missed your earlier reply before -- about coming to NYC.

You sound like a good man. Please, feel free to contact me before coming. If you would like to save a buck or two, you are more then welcomed at my modest place in Long Beach, about a 50 minute train ride from mid-town Manhattan. Perhaps you're more of a city guy and want to stay in the city. Either way, let me know. We can get dinner, chat, make the rounds.

Be well.

Ray
