Xingyiquan & Baguazhang

The Art of Moving the Body with Intention

As traditional Taoist internal martial arts, Form & Intention Fist, and Eight Trigrams Palm, are rare and ancient styles of Chinese Kung Fu which are revered for their unique ability to develop a natural and powerful system of unified mind-and-whole-body connected movement.

Combining effective real world self-defense with wellness and meditation, these internal arts promote health, strength, longevity, flexibility, confidence, mindfulness, clarity of thought, and unity of body & mind.

Historical Swordsmanship


Historical Swordsmanship or HEMA has been carefully reconstructed from the original sources, and then rigorously pressure tested to restore the art as accurately as possible.

Courses of study in the historical sword arts of The United States of America, and The British Isles (England, Ireland, Scotland,…) are available at the Academy.
