Has anyone studied with, or can tell me more about, Bai Yu Cai and his style of Bagua from the Liu Bin line?

I like this video footage very much.

Anyone know how to get in touch with tomasz?

thanks.

Oh yeah, don't sleep on Liu Jingru. He's pretty awesome from the video I have seen and my teacher speaks very highly of him.
Probably worth at least meeting him. Though from the video I have seen, I'm not so sure about his students.

I would definitively recommend such a teacher. Lots and lots of circle walking and when you finish more circle walking.

In the spirit of:

The late Ajahn Singtong used to do so much walking meditation that he would make a rut in his walking path, and the novices would have to come and fill in the hollow. The sandy path that he used for walking meditation would actually become hollow because he would walk so many hours a day – sometimes up to fifteen or more hours a day! I know of another monk who walked meditation so much that he wouldn’t bother to go into his hut at night. When he got really tired after walking meditation all day and late into the night, he would lay down right there on the meditation path and use his fist as a pillow. He would go to sleep with mindfulness, having made a determination to get up the moment he woke. As soon as he woke up, he would start walking again. He basically lived on his walking meditation path! That monk was quick to attain results in his practice.

Walking meditation in the Thai Forest Tradition

That's the real warrior mentality! :)
