Master Chang teaches xing yi, bagua, and tai chi in Huntsville, AL, probably about an hour north of you. Classes are once a week, 3 hours on Saturday. It is not expensive but his focus is more on form work than it is on "fighting". If you want more details you are welcome to contact me. If this doesnt suit you, you could always join us in Southern Mantis training...
Allen Pittman is a xing yi guy you might consider looking up in Atlanta. There are also a variety of other internal teachers in the Atlanta area.
