From the Founder of Golden Breath
Hi my name is Robert Kassof and I am the founder and creator of Golden Breath American Tai Chi Which I created many decades ago.
I also created the American Tai Chi Association to protect the system from fraud.
The American Tai Chi Association accredits and certifies all teachers of Golden Breath American Tai Chi.
Most people refer to me as SiBok, Grandfather of Golden Breath and the founder of the first American Tai Chi system.
I alone have full copyrights to all my movements with the Library of Congress and the Federal Government as well as Federal Trade Marks.
The copyrights of my movements were done with two videos one in 1996 with my then high senior students Pete Bowen and Jeffrey Cohen both are still my students and Jeffrey has been with me for over thirty years doing Golden Breath.
The second video was filmed by Paul Lepera showing my High Seniors doing Going Breath in 2001.
Please do not be fooled by a copy right of a DVD.
I and I alone own the copyrights of Golden Breath and as I said before there is only one founder of a system and I am the founder of Golden Breath.
Over the many years of me teaching Golden Breath to Thousands of people from every walk of life I realized the one thing we all have in common is our love for life and our ongoing pursuit of health and happiness and why not?
In my many years of teaching I had the pleasure to see so many miracles happen to so many people from doing this system which requires very little effort.
Doing the movements for as little as fifteen minutes a day can change your life in a positive way and believe me I know this first hand.
The most important part of Golden Breath is learning to use and utilizes Breath and Movement.
The system is designed and dedicated so anyone from any age can do it.
No matter what health condition you are in, weather you are mobile of immobile, no matter if you are healthy or have limitations….
The system is designed to work on Breath and Movement.
Controlling One’s breath and adding a simple movement to that breath will increase one’s ability to do things you could only dream about doing.
Many people ask me over the years what made you create such a system and I am always happy to share my life experiences with everyone.
Many years ago when I was young I was in Beth Israel Hospital in Manhattan and I had to have my thyroid removed and I was very nervous about having the operation.
In the hospital there was an elderly women who befriended me and told me that life is the most wonderful gift a person could have and she had a smile that brightened the darkest room.
In the years that followed I always told my students as well as others learning all forms of Martial Arts that the greatest weapon a person could have is a smile.
This elderly women had such a profound effect on my life.
Anyway getting back to the story of why I created Golden Breath.
The morning of my operation she came to my bed and gave me that wonderful smile and told me not to worry I have a gift and someday I will offer the world something special.
After my operation I was recovering and the first thing I did when I got out of bed was go see this lovely elderly lady.
As I approached her room the nurses and doctors were working on her and she could not breathe and I became very upset watching this.
When the nurses seen I was watching they closed her curtain but not before I seen her gasp her final breath and I could not get that picture out of my mind.
As the years followed and it was the mid 1970’s and I continued to work on exercising the breath and putting simple movements to that breath I realized the longer I breathed the slower my movements became and before I knew it I was creating a dance one can do anywhere, anytime, and my breath became stronger and the body was healthier.
I realized that so many people were working on their bodies at gyms but how many were really improving their health and well being?
The longer one holds the breath in a smooth every flowing way the greater the power of the lungs and the more endurance one has.
I alone taught that the difference between life and death was breath not lifting weights or even doing aerobics which I strongly believe in both as well.
There is no miracle for long life but if we exercise, eat properly and watch what we eat and learn to Breath we can live well beyond the years of our forefathers.
I have decided after much soul searching that it is time for me to give the world back what I gotten for free and that’s my system so everyone who owns a computer can be able to do Golden Breath easily and while I am here on this earth why shouldn’t I the creator of the system teach the movements myself.
So I decided that I will be making many videos for those to down load my system for FREE.
I will create these with high definition as well as lower clarity so everyone can be capable of downloading my movements
If anyone has any questions that they would like me to personally answer please go on line to www.americantaichi.com or www.goldenbreath.com and simple write a question and I will personally answer each and everyone’s questions myself.
If you go on line to our Golden Breath Web Site please look through the testimonials and see for yourself how many people and organizations the system is benefiting today.

Golden Breath American Tai Chi has been developed to help all who seek a way to greater health and greater stamina by doing a movement that is simple yet super effective.
I will be instructing all the movements myself and I will have dozens of students showing you how simple the movements are and how it looks when many students are doing it together.
I will have students doing Golden Breath in these videos from all walks of life,
Nuns, Priests, Ministers, Carpenters, Police Officers, Stock Clerks, Jewelers, Doctors, Nurses and so many others.
All with one common goal to feel better about themselves and allow their breath to control their movements instead of the other way around.
I invite everyone to come and watch the videos and know you are being given a gift which I hope you will do on a daily basis and as your life and health improves by doing what I call Mediation in Motion or simply Golden Breath.
