Gil Bucher

​In the mid-90s, a big change in life circumstances gave me a choice in how I wished to handle the added stress. I went with a constructive way to expend the “negative” energy—Road Cycling. After a few years I saw the need to seek more balance in my fitness and began training in Chinese Martial Arts. 20+ years of experience in the two disciplines has gifted me with a keen eye for technique and knowledge of how to train for competitive ambitions and, more importantly, sustaining long term health and wellness.
