Hello from St Petersburg Florida!

Hello, I saw a link to this forum on FB and decided to check it out. Some familiar names here. I started martial arts practice one year ago, and happened to start at a school where Don Dean trains, and has nightly and weekend bagua training groups. At first I wasn't sure about all that circle turning and painful representative poses, but sure enough 10 months later I was in Miami getting my ass kicked my Jin Bao himself. The intensive in Miami was focused on Phoenix. Some of my main take aways from the intensive were: practice every day,practice with intention, learn one animal first. 


This forum comes at a great time for me as I am planning my training curriculum for 2015 around the phoenix system. I have already found great posts regarding training schedules, how long / often to walk vs representative vs strikes etc.


Great stuff!
