About Combat Iron Palm Iron Vest Association©
Combat Iron Palm Iron Vest Association© (CIPIVA©) and CDIA Supplies© were founded by Shizi Dale Dugas in response to his desire to catalog, research and teach authentic classical and modernized methods of Internal and Internal/External Chinese Strength Programs, rather than letting the material pass into oblivion.


Dale DugasAbout Shizi Dale Dugas
 Shizi Dale Dugas has over 25 years of training in Chinese,  Chinese/Okinawan, and Japanese martial arts systems as  well as Internal and Internal External Iron Palm Training.. He  achieved a Shodan(1st degree Black Belt) in Okinawan  Uechi-Ryu Karate-do at age 16. He is well versed in Southern  Short Hand systems. He was first introduced to the  complexities of the Chinese internal arts( Hsing-Yi Chuan,  Baguazhang, Taijiquan), and various Qi Gong methods under  Shifu Kwan Sai Hung, best known as the protagonist in the  book, The Wandering Taoist.

 He has lived in Japan after earning a B.A. in Japanese  Studies from Earlham College, and appeared on National Japanese TV as well as local Japanese news programs.

Shizi Dugas has been studying Jiulong Baguazhang since 1998 when he was first introduced to the system via Jimmy Morris and Bob Downey of South Shore Internal Arts. He tested and received his first level of teaching certification in Jiulong Baguazhang in 2006.

He is currently working towards his Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at New England School of Acupuncture.

Shizi Dugas has made a personal vow to follow Dr. John P. Painter and propagate the Jiulong Baguazhang system as having been exposed to different systems over the years, he feels the Jiulong system offers a well rounded curriculum for both the combat warrior, and seekers of the quiet path.

He looks forward to furthering research on Lijia Daoqiquan, Tieh Sha Zhang Gong (Iron Palm) and Tieh Bu Shan Gong (Iron Vest) training, Shuai Jiao and Chin-Na (Throwing and Grappling) and Dit Da Ke (Chinese trauma medicine) as well as strength training with Kettlebells.
