Welcome to The Grove! "The martial forest is one family”. My hope is that together we can shape the culture and curriculum of this community so that The Grove will come to represent a level of quality and skill of which we can all be proud. I am still building out the space, but there will be free content for Shuai Jiao, Ba Gua, basic gong fu and more. There will also be focused training cohorts starting soon with options including -Liang & Cheng style Bagua Zhang -Beijing Shuai Jiao -Chen Style Tai Ji Quan & Da Bei Quan -Gong Fu basics and Praying Mantis Kung fu -Qi Gong As someone who has either trained with me in the past or expressed interest in learning one of the arts I teach you are here as one of the founding members of the community. You have probably heard me say before that I don’t take myself that seriously, but it take the arts I teach very seriously indeed. In this space I am a teacher, a coach and a fellow martial artist studying as diligently as I can. Reach out with any questions and I look forward to sharing this space with you all. If you don’t mind, please take a moment to leave a comment and let us know a few things about yourself. -name and location -age and previous/current martial arts experience -what you are interested in learning Feel free to add anything else you would like to share. This is your space!

Hi everyone, For those of you I haven’t formally introduced myself to yet, my name is Joshua, and I’m the co-founder and a support team of The Grove. We've built this community around structured, practical training—focused on real skill development, consistent practice, and long-term growth. Our goal is to create a space where people can train seriously, ask questions openly, and develop these arts with clarity and intention. As we continue to grow, it’s important that the structure evolves with it. The changes we’re sharing below are part of that next step—creating a clearer path for more intentional and customized training while keeping the community strong and sustainable. Here’s an update on what’s coming next in The Grove: On February 23, The Grove community will officially transition to a two-tier structure. This change will take full effect, and we want to clearly explain what that means and how things will work moving forward. The purpose of this shift is to create a sustainable structure that supports deeper training while still keeping the community accessible. 👉 Free Tier: The free tier is not going away. It will continue to provide: - Access to the Kung Fu Basics Course - Access to the community board and discussions - Ongoing updates and announcements This tier allows you to stay connected to The Grove, continue practicing foundational material. It is ideal for those who want to ease into the journey. You’ll still have access to core principles and community discussion, so you can ask questions, refine your basics, and maintain steady progress. When you’re ready to take your training deeper, the next step will be clearly available. 👉 Premium Tier $70 (Full Training Experience): Unlocks the complete Grove curriculum and live training environment. Full Course Access - All structured Kung Fu courses Beijing Shuai Jiao Course Includes: - Solo warm-ups - Waist drills - Leg movements and footwork - Solo technique development - Basic partner training structure - Technical breakdowns - Application theory
