mithrandir Posted July 11, 2016 Hi everybody thanks for letting be a part of your community. My name is David and I'm a 40 year old graphic artist from the Bronx who wants to learn more about the Dao. I currently practice Yin Fu Bagua, a little Tai chi and do Zhan Zhuang and Mantra meditation as well as forms and some bagua circle walking. I learned the kungfu from my younger brother who is pretty amazing. He starting teaching me about 3 years ago. Growing up he used to say that I was a Daoist and didn't even know it. I didn't even really know what a Daoist was but after training I realized it was something that I was looking for (and needed) my whole life. I'm a humble student and looking forward to learning and hopefully contributing to the forum. David 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
