The Northampton Yin Style Baguazhang chapter meets several times a week to train, primarily in the Lion System. This group of twenty plus students is led by Dan Crescenzo, who also has a background in Zen massage therapy. We practice outside year-round.

Class currently meets Tuesday and Thursday nights, as well as some Saturday mornings. Tuesday classes are 6:30 to 8:30 pm at Smith College. Thursday classes are 7:30 to 9:30 pm in the Helix Studio in Thornes marketplace. Saturday classes are 9:30 am to 12:30 pm at Smith College. Classes usually begin with half an hour of turning the circle, after which Dan or one of his associates leads.

Dan Crescenzo has practiced martial arts for over thirty years. Other students range from advanced to fresh beginners. However, the atmosphere here is friendly and everyone has something to offer. If you are interested in participating in or observing a class, please contact one of the people below. All levels of experience are welcomed.
