Ep 40: Benjamin Palmer on Kempo and Xing Yi Quan

Welcome to episode 40 of the Tai Chi Notebook Podcast!

Today we’re joined by my friend Benjamin Palmer. Ben has been running a Xing Yi Quan training group in deepest darkest Somerset for a good few years now, but Ben has also been training Mishima Kempo, an eclectic Japanese martial art and is thinking of starting a class in that soon.

We share the same Xing Yi teacher, Damon Smith who has been a previous guest on my show.

I visited Ben’s Xing Yi class a couple of weeks ago to teach his group some grappling and afterwards we sat down for a chat, and a nice cup of tea, so here we are in Ben’s kitchen!
