Welcome to join us as an associate of
Classical Cheng Style - Liu Jing Ru Ba Gua Zhang Association
In Lower east side of Manhattan, New York, Frank Allen and Tina Zhang, the co-author of "The Whirling Circles of Ba Gua Zhang - The Art and Legends of the Eight Trigram Palm", and diciples of Master Liu Jing Ru are the founders of this association.
This association is only for people who have practiced or start to seriously practice this style and willing to be a part of the family of the living lineage of Grandmaster Liu Jing Ru. We need to stay together through our work to porpularize this classical legacy into a worldwide practice while maintaining the ancient-respected lineage approach of the traditional martial arts.
The idea is to keep us unified and develop into a bigger family of Liu Jing Ru Ba Gua Zhang in the world, and help everyone who would like to practice, teach others, and spread this art. This is a step not only for letting more people in the world know about us and enjoy this wonderful practice as much as we do, but also to credit each of us as qualified practitioners or instructors in this lineage. Hopefully, the association will continue to exist generation after generation and ensure the same quality of instruction and consistency of the practice at all locations; more classes, workshops are conducted at all levels by the associate of the association!
Here are the details about how to join us and be an associate:
1. Anyone who studies this style with grandmaster Liu Jing Ru or Liu's disciples at any locations around the world is eligible to join this association and be an associate (you don�t have to be an official instructor, but if you are, it�ll be motioned on your web page).
