Anyone with LDS standards or similar in the Santa Monica, CA area interested in learning and practicing while helping to preserve an almost extinct Taoist martial art? It has been guarded so well that it is nearly gone. I am not a Sifu, so the value here would be the art, and not the teacher, but I am sharing what I have learned over the last 18 years, and this is an unbelieveably amazing art. Similar roots to SSTT if you want to google that for some of the more esoteric details. I know most of those guys. I am in a couple of the videos getting pummeled or burned with the fire element. My approach is a bit different from theirs and unique even among the few who are attempting to share this. Defintely not your normal muscle and knuckle art. I had a brown belt in that type of art, but find this art much more fascinating. Just for contrast, lifting weights is counter productive to this art, and you can hit with just about anything except the first 2 knuckles.
