Shao-lin Center in Boulder Colorado under Master David Soard. Studying
a rotating curriculum of internal / external Chinese traditional martial
arts styles. This extensive program included weapons, empty hand forms,
sparring and conditioning.
Realizing their interests lay in the internal martial arts. Studying
chi gong and related practices from Healing Tao instructor Michael
Hamilton they gained new perspectives and ideas. At this time they
began their training under Marcus Brinkman, Senior Student of Luo
De Xiu. Through private instruction, intense dedication and training
