People new to training martial arts or Chinese martial arts are welcome at our school.
Persons with martial arts experience are also welcome. We practice martial arts, and
specifically Gao style Baguazhang, because it is a fun and rewarding experience with
many benefits.
It is the policy of our school that we do not discriminate on the basis of age (provided
one is over 18), religion, gender, sexual orientation, handicap or health status. It is our
firm belief that the only condition which disqualifies someone from the practice of bagua
kungfu is "lack of motivation".
Accordingly all new prospective students will be asked to hold one of the basic beginner
postures from Gao bagua for as long as they can. The instructor will then determine
whether the prospective student seemed sufficiently motivated.
Individuals who fail to exhibit sufficient motivation or whose practice habits are not
sufficient to merit further time and attention will be not be taught anything further.
This is not a commercial school, quality not quantity is the goal.
