About



  BianGun began life as scraps of Dave Riley's lifestyle notes.It has since morphed into an exercise archive built with sticks and Indian Clubs.
The labels at the bottom of each page list the topics discussed.
I primarily focus on working with  two stick lengths:
  • Biangun -- which is as tall as my armpit
  • Hanbo -- which is as tall as my hip. 
Both lengths can serve as walking or hiking sticks. 
Since I walked around about with a stick -- as I am handicapped by a long tern arthritis -- when I considered taking up a martial art it seemed obvious to include the wood in my plans.
After some searching and experimentation, I worked out my preferences as to lengths and styles.
