I’m EricR. I’ve been learning and practicing martial arts since 1989 and internal arts, particularly Nine Dragon Baguazhang, since 1997.

Over the years I asked a lot of questions. I had successes, failures, challenges, triumphs, confusion, and revelations.

The training hall turned out to be a testing ground for personal development and philosophical exploration in addition to self-defence and health maintenance.

Connect your path to mine

Over the years I was fortunate to get involved with excellent teachers and made many friends.

It has been an amazing adventure of discovery and now that I’m in my senior years, the time has come to offer some help to those who are on the path and might benefit from stories and experiences of those who have walked before.
