As a teenager in New York City, Joseph Zeisky began his internal martial arts training in Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan. In his over 25 years of combined experience in various martial arts styles, movement and health disciplines, he primarily focused on Taichi, Bagua, Aikido, Xingyi and Yichuan. Alongside his martial arts training, he also researched and studied the energy healing science of Qigong, spiritual cultivation practices of Taoist Meditation, and western healing modalities such as holistic nutrition science, living foods, fasting, natural
	hygenics, colon cleansing and other natural detoxification and healing methods. He had the great privilege of learning and training directly with many world-renowned masters, gifted healers and health experts here and abroad, and he continues to enthusiastically research and practice their methods and traditions.

Since 1988, Joseph has been teaching the Taoist Internal and Martial Arts privately and publicly, on a part-time basis through out the United States (New York City, Princeton New Jersey, Orlando Florida, Boulder Colorado, and San Francisco California), Asia (Taipei, Taiwan), Caribbean (Puerto Rico) and Europe (London, England).

But, for most of his life Joseph primarily worked as a second generation fine gems setter, custom design jeweler, manufacturing consultant and shop manager for the jewelry industry. Since the very young age of 8, Joseph apprenticed in a traditional European fashion under his Hungarian father, Andre L. Zeisky, who had gained a very respected reputation amongst the fine jewelry houses of New York City, practicing and working under his strict but patient and daily tutelage till age 19.

Even though teaching the Taoist Internal Arts are more his passion and focus these days, he still very much enjoys being a craftsman and designer, occasionally being commissioned to make beautiful one-of-a-kind handmade pieces of jewelry for private clients, family and friends.

Additionally, after having attended occasional classes at the Parsons School of Design in the mid to late 1990's, but primarily self-taught, since 1995 Joseph has also freelanced as a computer graphics designer and new products development consultant. And, since 2004 has ventured into web design and multi-media production.

By Febuary 2000, Joseph made teaching the Taoist Internal Arts his primary focus and love, currently teaching classes, workshops and private lessons in New York City area and worldwide. You can contact him by email at: josephzeisky@gmail.com
