Yin Fu Bagua Teaching and Training - Andrew Nugent-Head - Ep #117 - Interview #46 pt1
2026/10/16
In this episode Randel and Owen talk with Andrew Nugent-Head about teaching, training and learning Yin Fu Bagua Zhang and Chinese medicine with Xie Pei Qi .
From his website:
"Andrew Nugent-Head is the founder of the Association for Traditional Studies (ATS), a 501c3 organization dedicated to the preservation, documentation and dissemination of China's traditional knowledge. Andrew moved to China in 1986 at the age of 18 to study Chinese medicine, martial arts, and internal cultivation. He spent 28 years in China dedicated to learning these arts and obtained the highest quality education possible in traditional, mentor-disciple relationships.
Andrew's studies and work have been featured on French and German television, the NBC Sunday Today Show, and on ABC News Special. He also worked on and appeared in the Mystery of Qi episode of the Bill Moyers PBS documentary series, Healing and the Mind. He has been featured in newspapers across the United States and written prolifically on Chinese Medicine, culture and the importance of preserving traditional knowledge worldwide.
Through his non-profit, Andrew has translated six books, produced over 400 educational videos and translated for and assisted practitioners of Chinese Medicine, Yin Style Bagua martial arts, Daoyin practices, and Calligraphy during more than 140 seminars between 1993 and 2003.
With the passing of his teachers, Andrew now dedicates himself to teaching the practice of Chinese medicine as he learned it to fellow practitioners through seminars around the world. He also runs a teaching clinic in Asheville, North Carolina where practitioners can observe him treating patients with herbs, acupuncture, bodywork, exercises and lifestyle advice."

About Sifu Russ: "Russ expressed an interest in martial arts as a young teenager, and began learning Karate basics with a family friend. It wasn't until Russ was on extended vacation in the Philippines over thirty years ago that he began his formal training in Japanese Goju-Ryu under an Australian instructor, Sensei Iyan Mackenzie...Russ's desire to continue research on the origins and influences on Goju-Ryu has lead him to also study Fujian and Hakka arts such as Five Ancestor (Ngo Cho Kun / Wuzuquan), White Eyebrow (Pak Mei), and White Crane Boxing styles....Russ's focus is preserving, promoting, and researching the arts of Okinawa, Southern China, Malaysia, and the Philippines at his Burinkan dojo."

Xin Yi Liu He Teaching and Training - Derek Notman - Ep #114 - Interview #44 pt2
2026/09/25
In this episode Randel and Owen continue their talk with Derek Notman about training and teaching XinYi Liu He, Yang Style Taiji and the Guang Hua Zhe Zong Tong Yi Pai branch of the Gao Bagua style.
From Island Physical Culture:
"For over three decades, I have dedicated my life to the study of physical culture and philosophy. This pursuit has led me all over the world including time living in China and South East Asia, studying with traditional masters of martial, movement and healing arts.
I have always sought to extract the essence of the traditions while connecting the common elements. Despite the uniqueness of each art and human form, there is a commonality to being in a body and so themes emerge. I have made it my life’s work, to investigate and understand these themes and share them with others in a paradigm of traditional wisdom through embodied practice.
The marriage of movement arts and healing skill leads to a more harmonious development and balanced expression of the individual.
The beauty of a good practice is the continuity it provides despite the constancy of life’s changes, rendering stable ground from which to observe the change.
I have a strong passion for helping people discover their fullest potential to live healthier and happier lives, and I believe that movement and bodywork play a vital role in our ability to do so."
