Our Name – The Back Story

About our Association Name

“Wind River” refers to a wonderful pristine wilderness range of mountains in my home state of Wyoming whwind river mountainsere I enjoyed backpacking, fishing and camping. The Wind Rivers are a rare and special place in today’s world where the balancing of yin and yang energies keep so many different things in harmony, people, animals, towns, wilderness, majestic mountains and rivers throughout winter, spring, summer and fall.

The beauty, strength, agelessness and harmony of the Wind River country makes it an appropriate symbol for internal martial arts. Wind over River also has great significance of balance within the Chinese system of Fung Shui of body, mind and home.
