In this workshop we will revise the first half of this form before continuing and completing the entire Yang style Taijijian 54 movement routine. This traditional form was first developed in the early 1930’s and has has been practiced by taiji players around the globe. Sam Masich has researched and trained this form for over 30 years and brings unusual insight to the subject.
The Masich Internal Arts Method approach to the traditional Yang-style Taijiquan curriculum is based on Sam Masich's training with such masters as Raymond Chung (a student of Yang Shouzhong 楊守中), Brien Gallagher (Raymond Chung's Research Assistant), Dr. Yang Jwing Ming (楊俊敏), and Yang-family members Yang Zhenduo (楊振鐸). Masich is a master of the full curriculum of Yang-style Taijiquan.
Upon completion of the full course students will receive a certificate acknowledging the training.
