Finding a teacher I felt comfortable with has not been an easy task. I know I should have a beginner's mind, but frankly, having studied with amazing teachers in my 40 years of martial arts experience has caused me to become very critical and I know what I am searching for. I attended a couple of trial classes last week. At this time, it doesn't look like i'm going to go in that route.
At this time, I am beginning to feel more and more comfortable with going towards a distance learning experience for myself, in conjunction with a self-study program. I may combine that with some instruction with another local teacher I found on the internet. Wish me luck!!
It's a strange thing, on the one hand, there doesn't seem to be that much information or specifics about Baguazhang on the internet, and yet on the other hand, there does seem to be some extremely knowledgeable people writing and sharing their understanding and skills, too.
No matter which direction I finally settle on, I will have to do some more remedial work to better my fitness and physical potential.
