[START HERE] Welcome to The Grove!
Welcome to The Grove! "The martial forest is one familyā€.Ā My hope is that together we can shape the culture and curriculum of this community so that The Grove will come to represent a level of quality and skill of which we can all be proud. I am still building out the space, but there will be free content for Shuai Jiao, Ba Gua, basic gong fu and more. There will also be focused training cohorts starting soon with options including -Liang & Cheng style Bagua Zhang -Beijing Shuai Jiao -Chen Style Tai Ji Quan & Da Bei Quan -Gong Fu basics and Praying Mantis Kung fu -Qi Gong As someone who has either trained with me in the past or expressed interest in learning one of the arts I teach you are here as one of the founding members of the community. You have probably heard me say before that I don’t take myself that seriously, but it take the arts I teach very seriously indeed. In this space I am a teacher, a coach and a fellow martial artist studying as diligently as I can. Reach out with any questions and I look forward to sharing this space with you all. If you don’t mind, please take a moment to leave a comment and let us know a few things about yourself. -name and location -age and previous/current martial arts experience -what you are interested in learning Feel free to add anything else you would like to share. This is your space!

Hi, I'm Ross. I'm from the United States (NH) but live in Costa Rica. I currently train BJJ and Judo as a hobbyist. I stumbled across a video of Shuai Jiao training on YouTube. The guy had a large stick or pipe with a disk weight at the end of it, and he was doing hip throws on that. I thought it seemed like a brilliant idea for training judo throws. After more searching I found Sonny's 4 hour intro video on YT. I have started learning and practicing some of the hip and leg series movements, and I think they will help my BJJ and Judo. I am unlikely to have an opportunity to practice Shuai Jiao proper in an academy setting, but I think the basic movements will be really beneficial for my other arts. While I'm here, I may also study some of the other internal arts shown on the website.
