A friend of mine is Dog Brothers practitioner. He posted the Three Esses on my friends fb page.

Traditional Archery
Here is the ATARN, (an Asian Traditioanl Archery Association) youtube playlist illustrating some old school archery methods. This has been a great organization. Unfortunately, the list cannot be embeded.

Deng Ming Dao's book Scholar Warrior mentioned Indian Clubs when I first read it back in the 90's. He mentioned that they cultivated bilateral use of the body. I had no idea what they were. Fast forward to today and you can find quite a few people training with them. Indian Clubs have helped my shoulder ROM. There are a lot of good vids out there. I highly encourage all "high mileage" martial artists to take a look at this ancient training method. Here are a few links to get you started:
Zen Kahuna has a fantastic follow along series here: http://youtu.be/reWVCIcHyvU
Army Maguire is a retired elephant trainer that traveled the world. He has an innovative mind and love of the martial arts. I believe he also did some Hsing Yi Chuan and is an expert in Iron Palm.

School News
Please take a look around the blog and the youtube vids to see if you would like what I teach. We are looking for some new people to train with. Make no mistake this is a small non commercial school.
The curriculum includes: Northern Kung Fu to establish a base for training if you are a beginner, Sun Style Hsing Yi Chuan, Qigong, Stretching, Conditioning, etc. Please come with a learning plan. It is just too exhausting to teach people that do not put out effort. Also, you should not have a problem with either meditation or a contact oriented class. If you can do all that give me a call.
A quick word about Baguazhang. I do practice it but at this time not teaching any NEW students. Li Laoshi of the Magui system of bagua zhang is my new teacher in that art. He is a great guy and I highly encourage anyone looking to learn bagua to check him out.
Also, in the late 90's I did study Hsing Yi, Baguazhang, and Tuina with a teacher from a national organization (NATSTA) for 3 years. I still use some of the exercises but have changed them to reflect the body mechanics from Sun Style Hsing Yi Chuan. Any other material that I use is in the public domain. If you have any questions regarding this please contact me. But I won't entertain any bullshit nor answer any challenges.
The ideal student would be mature, have a great sense of humor, be willing to work, and independent minded. I am more into developing training partners that I can hang with on equal terms rather than gathering students.
