Interview with Sam Masich

I am excited to introduce to you one of the most remarkable Taiji players in North America today. Sam Masich is one of the most accomplished mid-generation practitioners of Chinese internal martial arts in the world today. Having trained and taught for a quarter century, Masich has studied with several of the great masters of his era from both North America and China including Liang Shouyu, Dr. Yang Jwing Ming, Jou Tsung Hwa, Yang Zhenduo and Chen Xiaowang. He has taught around the world and is the subject of two internationally airing documentaries. Sam has made some 20 films on Tai Chi and Neijia related subjects.

I am sure that you will enjoy the live interview with him on the talk show The Secrets of Qigong Masters tonight. Please go to http://www.blogtalkradio.com/qigongmasters from 6:00 to 7:00 pm PDT (9:00 to 10:00 pm EDT). Do not miss a rare opportunity to connect with Sam and ask him your most burning questions about Taiji or Qigong. Feel free to call (347) 327-9635 with any questions for this internationally renowned expert in the Internal Martial Arts.

Sam is one of the most recorded internal martial artists of all time. He has been filmed in countless demonstrations, competitions and classes and was the first instructor to publish a video instructional manual on the subject of Push Hands. Through Little Productions, he has produced over 20 instructional films on subjects such as Taijiquan, Push Hands, Qigong and Xingyiquan and has several major instructional video works in development. Sam has served as a martial arts action consultant, trainer and choreographer on various TV programs and stage productions, and is himself the subject of two documentaries on Taijiquan and the internal arts. He is currently working on a feature length documentary entitled ‘Tai Chi People’.

Masich has distinguished himself in competition as a quadruple and septuple gold medallist in national competitions and was a member of the Canadian National Chinese Martial Arts Team competing in China at The World Wushu Invitationals in 1985. In 1994, although formally retired from competition, he was awarded seven gold medals for performances in the Shanghai Oberon Cup, an event involving athletes from more than twenty countries. Since 1989 Masich has refereed and judged in national tournaments and has held a steady position as Chief Referee for Push Hands in the U.S. All Taijiquan Championships.

Qi Dao Meditation Study Group

I would be glad to see you participating in our Meditation Study Group that meets by phone on Friday evenings from 5:00 to 6:00 pm PDT. This is one of the easiest and most affordable opportunities to enjoy the benefits of Qi Dao practice without making a serious commitment of time or money. Thousands of people throughout the world have found Qi Dao meditation practices extremely helpful for their self-empowerment and self-realization. I am sure you will find it very beneficial for you, too.

Due to some technical difficulties with our teleconference provider, we were unable to record the last two meetings, so I decided to offer the same teleseminars again. Now, we are going to make it sure that they get recorded in case you miss any of them. The recordings will be available to all members of the group at no extra charge.

Given the economic conditions many people experience nowadays, we are offering a $15 discount on the registration for this group, so you can register for this six weeks series for just $65. If you have the Qi Dao Initiation CD, that is great, because we will be following the same outline as on the tracks of that CD. If you still do not have it, you are welcome to CLICK HERE to order the CD from Amazon.com or to DOWNLOAD THE TRACKS HERE.

If you experience any challenges with Qigong or Qi Dao practice, I would be happy to assist you through phone coaching. But I believe that our Meditation Study Group is the second best option for a long-distance Qi Dao training.

To register, please send via PayPal $65.00 to academy@qidao.org and make sure you have the Qi Dao Initiation meditation CD. In response I will send you the phone number of the teleconference calls we will hold on Fridays, May 22 and 29, June 5, 12, 19 and 26.

Speak to you soon,
