Greetings:
I am fairly desperate in looking for a good internal arts instructor in the Eastern San Francisco Bay area. The closer to San Lorenzo, the better.

Xingyi and taiji mixed in with sparring and sanshou can be found at EBM (Oakland): http://www.kungfu.net/oakland.html

Mark Wasson teaches Chen taiji in Livermore:

He's more "traditional" but pretty down-to-earth and knows applications.

Hong Zhongnan teaches Wu style taiji in Berkeley.

Depends on what you're looking for, I guess. There's more over north of SF, in SF proper and on the Peninsula. East Bay doesn't have as much.

I would add my kung fu brother Bernie Langan in Albany who teaches Gao style Bagua and Hebei Xingyi. Our (and Tim's) teacher Leo Dexiu will be at his place in a coule of weeks and is definately not to be missed. We had a great time here in Mass.

Definitely. Sorry for the oversight, Buddy. Langan's website is www.stillnessinmotion.com. Luo Dexiu will be giving a Gao style baguazhang and xingyi seminar there starting around July 31. If you could make any part of that, Travis, it would be a great introduction from a skilled teacher (although the seminar isn't in taijiquan). Bernie Langan also teaches taijiquan and silat.

Thanks for all of the information. I will have to contact Mr. Langan to find out more details about the seminar (his website only shows seminars thorugh May).
