Hi, and welcome to SamMasich.com!

Spring is here!

For some reason Spring always makes me feel nostalgic. Something about the scent of the awakening season triggers experiences from my yesteryears.

While I was in England teaching recently, I managed a trip up to London to see the 'First Emperor' exhibit at the British Museum. It was exactly half my lifetime ago that I first saw the Terracotta Warriors of Emperor Qin Shihuang in Xi'an China, where I was visiting as a member of Canada's first national Chinese martial arts team.

Xi'an was my first big international cultural experience, my first big exposure to modern and traditional Chinese martial arts as practiced on 'the mainland', and my first real personal connection with Master Shouyu Liang who was to become one of my most important mentors. It is here I received the name 'Maxiqi', a transforming experience!

馬希奇 (1985)

Now I am poised for another big life change. It seems that I, my partner Julia and our 18 month old son Karl, will settle this year in Berlin, Germany. I have been spending close to half my time in Europe these last few years so for many of you this will come as no surprise.

I will continue to work with my many fine North American students from various locations in Canada, and also continue to develop the work which has begun with many earnest and talented European practitioners.

Content on SamMasich.com will develop accordingly. Expect to see more multilingual material, notices for seminars in interesting locations (eg. a European '5 Section Taijiquan full curriculum intensive' around the end of 2009) and, at some point, a Euro-Taiji event which combines training and touring!
