DISQUS

Ed · 1 year ago

Yes, I hear that Wang Shangxin has a restaurant of some sort in Singapore and has started to teach traditional Yin style baguazhang... Might be something to check out!

Hi, Ed. You sound like you know something about Master Wang. Could you be persuaded to share?

Ed · 1 year ago

Wang Shangxin is the fourth son of Wang Fu, who was a disciple of Yin Yuzhang (Yin Fu's fourth son). Wang Fu was one of the old great masters of baguazhang in Beijing, back in the day, so if you like Yin style baguazhang - you may not find anything more traditional, at least! (Wang Shangxin appeared in some VCDs that his older brother Wang Shangzhi released a few years back.) Sounds like a great opportunity to me :)

The fourth son of the disciple of the fourth son? Cool. Thanks for the info!

Hey Alvin! Thanks for including me in your blog post! :)
Great commentary on last night's session.
It was really nice to see u and Greg again after so long...now that we have such an unlikely (for me, at least!) common interest, we'll meet up more often ya..
Note this Sunday, though, as I'm conducting a bear-making workshop. But thanks for the heads up.

Btw I noticed that u know Dare Chia. He's my cousin!

Yeah! We played together with his sister and all, quite often as a kid. One day I must have been very irritating (and he's also abit of a bully then) and he slapped me pretty hard!!!!
Now it's time for me to beat him up....hahahhahaha!!!!!!!!

How do u guys know each other?

He's the boyfriend of one of my closest friends from university.

Hm... he's quite a big bigger than you, you know. You might need a few more months of practice before taking him on. :p

No problem, smaller ppl are quicker. Bring 'em on....hii-yahhhhh!!!!! :D

But, Alicia, all he has to do to you is stick out his arm straight and push against your forehead...

Just duck and punch in the solar plexus and a good kick to the erm, never mind.... hee hee

Hi, I'm interetsed in learning baguazhang. Do you have any idea how to contact Master Wang?

eastpaw · 2 months ago

Hi, Ninja, afraid I don't. Perhaps you could check with Ed, who left a comment here as well? He sounds like he might know somebody who knows somebody.

Oh, wait. I could check with Kin Meng if you'd like. I don't really know him though, so I think it's better if I pass him your number than the other way around. Message me on Facebook and leave a name and contact number?
