About Tim Cartmell:
Tim lived in China and Taiwan for over 10 years of his life studying the art of Bagua / Taiji / Xing Yi from teachers such as Sun Jian Yun / Liang Ke Quan / and Luo De Xiu. Tim’s grasp of the principles and mechanics of the martial arts is second to none, and these skills transfer over to his translating and writing as well with such landmark texts as “Xing Yi Nei Gong” (co-authored with Dan Miller) / “Effortless Combat Throws” / translations of “A Study of Sun Taiji” – “Practical Chin Na” – “Chin Na Fa.”
