To go ahead and cancel class tomorrow. (And no Northern Shaolin on Sunday) Sorry to do it on Chinese New Year, but you can’t argue with weather.

Stay safe and warm.

Check back here about Xingyi on Sunday.

To be clear: no Ba Gua or Xing Yi classes tomorrow morning. And no Northern Shaolin on Sunday. Practice on your own anyway!

CPL Bagua workshop @ Roots Farm this Saturday, April 25, 3-5pm. Intro level, all welcome.

This came together at the last minute so I’m getting the word out a little late. If you are in the Athens area and have been wanting to try out some Ba Gua, now is your chance! We will be looking at the first four changes in the Chen Pan Ling Condensed Ba Gua System. Most of the time will be spent on introduction to the forms and proper circling, but we will also touch on basic application of the forms. These forms are very adaptable to different ability levels and are comparatively easy to learn, so no one should fear that the material will go over their heads. Conversely, the accomplished martial artist can use these forms to quickly integrate Ba Gua methods and strategies into their existing practice.

Sorry again for the late notice, and I hope to see some new faces as well as old friends there!

For more info call 678-999-6436 or email Dave@pathsatlanta.org.
