    Tony Yang is one of the nicest teachers I've met. I would learn praying mantis from him in a heartbeat.

    I never learned any Bagua, but his Baji and Mantis are excellent. Great guy. I miss that whole crew.
    Cheers

    Thanks, man that looks powerful. That sliding step with the palm strike looks sweet.

    Tony has been my teacher since 1988. He spent 8 solid years with his teacher Liu Yun Qiao and closed door teaching of Liu's bagua was part of his training.

    Currently we have no public baji classes.

    I think I am coming up for the tournament in october, I may compete in a couple of things, everyone here at Jing Wu has a seriously high opinion of Tony Yang.

    Please make sure you come over and introduce yourself. Things are usually pretty hectic and head judge the Yang's taiji---if there are a lot of competitors, then the event goes on forever

    I can talk to you then about what we are doing (basically trying to pay rent and keep the art on the up and up).

    We have a program set up (Blackbelt) and some of the students who have gone through their mantis etc. etc. are about to embark on baji training.

    The schedule listed on the website has not been updated and is not accurate.

    Private arrangement can always be made with Tony and his disciples.

    Hope to see you in October---its ont he campus of the University of Akron and the campus has had a major facelift---looks very good---Starbucks is on campus.

    Sounds great, I love Starbucks! I think I will probably be in "other" Tai Chi forms catergory, Hao style, and both push hands, thats probably it, might do some sparring but I doubt it.
    I have just learned one BaJi form, not sure what its called, it is a killer though, after about two trips through at speed I am exhausted, ready to drop and I think its a lower level form its not even that long but quite intense.

    Taiji-IronPalm:

    Are you currently with Dr. Huang or An Tian Rong?

    Just curious who you are learning baji from.
