Dedicated to the Yi Zong Internal Martial Arts that I teach and train in Arvada, CO USA. I began my studies in Chinese Martial Arts in 1998 in Boulder, CO.
I began with Shaolin Kung Fu and by late 2000, early 2001 began learning Bauguazhang from Marcus Brinkman. I learned from Marcus for about two years, and continued my studies privately with Owen Schilling and Bill Metzgar for another two years after that. Owen and Bill opened a public class/school in which I was appointed as class leader/senior student. I teach Bagua privately in Arvada, CO, and am available for private lessons around the Denver area and teach a public class on Sunday mornings.
