Do those White Dragon schools or that San Soo school have a web page at all?
Anyone know of some good internal schools, particularly on the west side of town?
I've found these two:
Sin Lung Kwoon

(This one seems like it's just what I'm looking for - curious to know if anyone has any experience with it.)
Taoist Tai Chi Society

I've been studing TKD in Golden for the last two years and am desperate for something different.

Kent, simply do a search on the board about shaolin do on this board and make a decision to go check them out for yourself, there are a few schools around the Denver area.
The times I was in the area and watched a little of the classes @ Becca's school, it looked pretty good, but a bit different from what you've learned so far style wise I'd assume.Welcome to Denver! Some info: There are two White Dragon (Pai Lum) schools in the immediate area, both under Long shr Galiano. One is in Arvada, the other in Thornton. Cost is $20 per week. And yes, both are indeed affiliated with the Ft. Collins school as well as the one in Longmont.
Not alluding to much as far as scandle type stuff. Just some observations, haven't really posted much in the last year or two, as I discontinued my training about a year and a half ago now.Well you've certainly got my curiousity up. I've done a lot of searching on this board before posting, but yet I still have no idea what you're alluding to.
I studied Northern Long Fist (a little of a conglomeration of a few different Northern Forms) for a few years with Christophe (his school is off of Mississippi between Fed. and Bway).
He's one hell of a forms teacher, and has produced some very good fighters (I didn't do much on that end with him). Christophe's main thing is Yang taiji, but is certainly a very compitent teacher in regards to the NLF. MK has seen me do my forms that I learned from Christophe and is fairly respected around these parts (for what I don't know ) for his opinion.
I learned a bunch of long fist forms, tan tui, a few northern staff forms, a few northern broadsword forms, etc... we did a decent amount of two person drills as well.
Starchaser107's (who also hasn't been around these parts in a while) wife studied a little hung gar about 3 or 4 years ago from the school on or near Federal and I seem to remember him thinking it was pretty good. Shoot him a PM and see if he responds.
There is the Wah Lum school, but you said you've already visited that school so I won't go into that.
Internal wise, The Taoist people as described by one of my older kung fu and taiji sisters after seeing some of their taiji, "They do old people taiji."
I've heard a few things about the Tang Shou Tao people, but don't know too much about what their doing so I'll refrain from comment. I'd recommend going to their school and checking them out. Go check out Christophe's school too, there are a few different things going on their taiji wise now from what I understand. There is a good bagua guy I saw, no idea if he's still teaching or not. I'm going down to Denver sometime this week and will find out who is still teaching and where when I'm down there and will comment more.
I doubt you'll want to drive up to Boulder, I'll skip that stuff too.
I agree with ~ 90% of Plumdragon's evaluations of the schools he talks about but mostly from comments from others (which have been respectable sources).

I used to live in Aspen. What a great place. You going to be a ski bum or do you have real work there?
When I was there in 1993 (13 years ago! ) I worked at the Breeze ski rentals right at the base of the Gondola. Man I had some good times there.
Ajax Mtn. is a great mountain but for me Highlands and Snowmass were my favorites.
I recommend the ski bum life to any and everyone for at least a year.
Typical Aspen day:
1. Wake up hung over.
2. Ride your bike or take the bus to work.
3. Hang out with your friends all day (aka work)
4. On your breaks go skiing or snowboarding.
5. After work go grab a 12 pack and hang out with your buds.
6. Go to Su Casa for Margaritas
7. Let the night happen. Sometimes we would go to a club called the Tippler right at the base of Ajax. It's not there anymore but there were so many fights in that place we used to call it the Crippler. I actually saw a guy get smashed in the head with one of those thick glass beer mugs. Crazy fun.
Have fun man.

I know the mountains fairly well, I figure it'll take me a few years to get to know them like I know the Vail resorts. I actually have real work there. I'll be the new P. County Engineer. Office will be in and around ABC, across from the airport. I got a place to live in Snowmass for the time being.

Wow, this is an old thread...
Well, they teach White Dragon Kung Fu. Alot of the beginner material is kempo-ish but they train hard and build a good foundation--good group of guys. Once you get to the soft-fist form about 6 months in to training, it becomes more Kung fu-ey. I spent a lot of time conditioning when I was there (limb knocking, wooden dummy, iron hand).
In the last year or 2, theres a new place in Evergreen teaching several different arts...
