In this episode Randel and Owen talk with Damo Mitchell about Bagua, Xingyi, Taiji and Nei Gong training, practice and teaching.

From his website:

"Damo Mitchell was born in the UK into a family of martial arts enthusiasts. From a young age, he immersed himself in training, setting the foundation for a lifelong journey of personal and professional development. This journey led him to explore the depths of both Japanese and Chinese martial arts, as well as various Yogic systems, meditative practices from diverse wisdom traditions, and classical Chinese medicine.

Captivated by the profound teachings he encountered, Damo dedicated himself to full-time study, traveling extensively throughout the Far East in search of authentic knowledge and true masters. In an era when the traditional methods of the East are becoming increasingly rare, Damo felt the urgency of the need to study with such luminaries before their teachings were lost.."
