Josh has long been drawn to traditional Chinese arts, culture, and Daoism. His journey became clear in 2002 after an injury led him to the Lake Tahoe Wellness Center, where he met his first teacher and began studying Chen Man-Ching Yang style Taichi and Taichi sword. When his teacher later handed him the class, Josh continued teaching there for two years. Upon returning to New Hampshire, Josh sought out Master Yang Jwing-Ming of the Yang’s Martial Arts Association (YMAA). Under Master Yang’s guidance, he immersed himself in Qigong and began his path into Daoist Internal Alchemy. After four years of dedicated study, he earned his Qigong Instructor Certification from YMAA. Over the years, Josh continued to broaden his training with many teachers and practitioners, exploring Chen-style Taichi and Wing Chun. In the summer of 2021, he encountered Master Zhou. A fortunate meeting that deepened his commitment to Daoist practice. Josh is now a Daoist Gate Certified teacher and serves as vice president of the Daoist Gate Center, Xuan Ju, in Francestown, NH.
Josh continues his training earnestly in Wudang Taichi, Taichi Jian (straight sword), Gong Fu, Bagua, and Xingyi under Master Zhou.
