Dale, I'm in St. Louis, MO. Do you all have any schools in the Midwest? How much is the week long camp?

Also, does Dr. Painter's first book deal with the applications of Baguazhang? Or does it just address the body mechanics?

AH
The first volume the foundation, history and much more in the first volume.

The second volume talks about the applications of the system. Though you really want to see the Nine Dragon Bagua for Street Combat DVD series for an indepth look at how the system deals with various apps.

For more information on the fees for the Gathering contact the Zhang San Feng Festival, they will be able to tell you the fees and such.

The main school is The Gompa which is located in Arlington, Texas. There are also schools in North Carolina, and Ohio. I do not know of a St. Louis school. Feel free to contact the Gompa and visit, as it is the source of the system.
