CIMA on east coast of US?

[wckf92]

First post to this area of MAT. I actually have two questions but will create a second post for it.

I'm wondering if there are any Xingyi Sifu's on / near the eastern half of the US?
Thanks!

Several ... can you narrow down where in the Eastern half? It's kind of a lot of ground to generalize ...

Yes that is a rather large area you are asking about, narrowing it down a bit would help

Here are a couple of links, but I am not sure how up to date they are

Areas like TN, VA, NC, SC, KY, GA, etc

I will be of little help there, I know the Northeast better, I leave the Southeast to Clfsean

Any options in ME or NH?

Not that I know of for Xingyiquan. You will find it in and around NYC and in Boston

That area is several states and hundreds of miles. There are places there that are a full day of driving away from each other. Can you narrow things down a bit?

I could, but just wanted to cast a wide net. I'm not opposed to a long drive if it's worth it. Not saying I'm going to learn/train in a CIMA...just curious about how they do things, etc. Especially the xingyi. It just sounds interesting.
I travel quite a bit too so perhaps I'll run into some Xingyi practitioners while out on business.
If I could narrow it down further I'd say southwestern VA, western NC, southern KY, northern GA, etc.
Thanks!

See... that region is a good 5 to 6 hours from the DC area. Probably like 10 to 12 from Boston or Florida. You may be comfortable with a long drive, but it's hard to train productively if you're looking at many hours of driving, even if you're just investigating and looking at an art.
