I guide you through the first six movements step by step, focusing on breath coordination, body awareness, and structural balance. Each section builds upon the last, helping you experience this meditative yet physically challenging form as a tool for cultivating strength, harmony, and focus. 0:00 – 0:31 | Introduction 0:31 – 3:55 | Demonstration 3:55 – 4:55 | What is Da Bei Quan? 4:55 – 5:35 | The Core Principles 5:35 – 9:25 | Movement 1 9:25 – 12:10 | Movement 2 12:10 – 17:22 | Movement 3 17:22 – 20:46 | Movement 4 20:46 – 23:00 | Movement 5 23:00 – 28:55 | Movement 6 Who Am I: “Student Always, Teacher Sometimes.” This mindset drives my approach to traditional Chinese martial arts. I have spent over 15 years training in Kung Fu and the internal fighting arts, beginning in Southern California with Praying Mantis Kung Fu and Yang Style Tai Chi, then sharpening my foundation in Seattle under Andrew T. Dale through intensive study of Chen Style Tai Chi and Bagua Zhang. In 2007, I relocated to Beijing, China, where I lived and trained for eight years under masters Zhang Wei Dong and Liu Zu Guang, forging real martial skill through disciplined daily practice, conditioning, and partner work. My training there focused heavily on Bagua Zhang, Shuai Jiao (Chinese Wrestling), Da Bei Quan, and the internal mechanics that make Kung Fu functional, powerful, and alive. I became the first foreigner awarded a Shuai Jiao Coach’s Certificate in China, competed in tournaments in China and internationally, and co-founded the Guang Wu Shuai Jiao Association to help carry forward authentic Chinese martial arts. My teaching emphasizes strength, structure, rooting, intent, and practical application—training the body and mind to move with clarity, resilience, and controlled force.
