I am a martial artist with two major goals in life: to continue to master of mind/body training in the martial arts and qigong, the other is to eventually get a doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I have decided the best way to do this is to pull up my tent pegs and move to China. I am soon to be in Shanghai teaching English and learning Mandarin. This page is dedicated to my adventures, my research, and a chance to chronicle my time in China.
