The Eight Energies Method
Energy and Application
with Sam Masich
A deep dive into the core of taijiquan. This is the first time in Germany that Sam will present the Masich Internal Arts Method 'Taiji Eight Barehand Energies' form that features the relationship between the eight-trigrams—‘heaven’ (qian 乾; ☰), ‘earth’ (kun 坤; ☷), ‘water’ (kan 坎; ☵), ‘fire’ (li 离; ☲), ‘wind’ (xun 巽; ☴), ‘thunder’ (zhen 震; ☳), ‘lake’ (dui 兑; ☱), and ‘mountain’ (gen 艮; ☶)—and the eight energies: ‘ward’ (peng 掤), ‘roll’ (lü 履), ‘squeeze’ (ji 擠), ‘press’ (an 按), ‘pluck’ (cai 採), ‘rend’ (lie 挒), ‘elbow’ (zhou 肘), and ‘lean’ (kao 靠).
In this groundbreaking event we will explore the MIAM thirteen-powers theory using classical taijiquan form, push-hands, and application work to bring new life into ancient methods.
