Chucky “Quick Kick” Currie

Posted on by Dr Kamyar Tarigi

Martial artist Chucky “Quick Kick” Currie, has won more Martial Arts Titles than most people could win in 10 lifetimes. But what do you expect from a person who started training at age 6? He has received his Black Belt at age 10 and has won so many forms including sparring and weapon titles that he can only estimate the total number at “between three and four hundred.”

While the charismatic 60-something is legendary on the tournament circuit, it is safe to say that Chucky “Quick Kick” Currie is no target for the paparazzi. “I’m Batman without a cape, the batcar, the money, or that Robin dude,” he laughs. “I see a lot of people who used to come to watch me compete in tournaments go on to get famous and rich in the movies. At one point Chuck Norris named me the new Bruce Lee, and Bill Wallace said I was the best technician he ever fought. Dan Inosanto said that if Bruce Lee was alive he would take me on tour everywhere and make all kinds of movies with me because he would be so proud of what I had accomplished.

Zhi Wang (王智)

Posted on by Dr Kamyar Tarigi

Feng Shui Master | Taoist Cultural Ambassador | Harmony Director of the American Qingcheng International I-Ching Association

Zhi Wang is an internationally recognized Feng Shui Master, Taoist scholar, and cultural ambassador dedicated to preserving and promoting the profound wisdom of Taoist philosophy across the world. As the Harmony Director of the American Qingcheng International I-Ching Association, he has played a vital role in bridging Eastern spiritual traditions with the modern global lifestyle.

Born on June 19, 1962, in Sichuan Province, China, Wang was raised in a family steeped in artistic and cultural heritage — his father was a respected Sichuan opera performer who instilled in him a lifelong appreciation for Chinese aesthetics and philosophy. From a young age, Wang immersed himself in martial arts, calligraphy, and classical Chinese studies, eventually finding his spiritual calling in the sacred Qingcheng Mountains, one of the birthplaces of Taoism.

Under the guidance of Taoist masters, Wang studied inner cultivation, meditation, and the Taoist art of harmony between humans and nature. His dedication led him to become a lineage disciple of the Qingcheng Taoist tradition, inheriting ancient teachings that he later brought to an international audience.

After moving abroad, Wang founded and led organizations that promote Taoist health practices, I-Ching philosophy, and Feng Shui education, including the American Qingcheng International I-Ching Association. His mission has been to introduce the principles of balance, compassion, and natural flow to a modern world often disconnected from spiritual grounding.

As a Feng Shui expert, Wang emphasizes the scientific and philosophical aspects of environmental energy — or Qi — teaching that true Feng Shui is not superstition, but a holistic art of harmonizing one’s surroundings to cultivate peace, health, and prosperity. His interpretation of Feng Shui draws from the Book of Changes (I Ching) and Taoist cosmology, combining ancient wisdom with practical applications for daily life, architecture, and personal growth.

Wang is admired not only for his expertise but also for his philosophy of kindness and service, which he sums up in his own words:

“Give confidence to others, give hope to others, give joy to others, and make things convenient for others.”

This simple yet profound teaching reflects his belief that harmony begins within and radiates outward — in relationships, communities, and the natural world.

Today, Zhi Wang continues to travel, teach, and lecture internationally, inspiring individuals to live with awareness, gratitude, and balance. His work serves as a timeless reminder that the wisdom of the Tao transcends culture and era, guiding humanity toward a more harmonious and enlightened future.

H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe

Posted on by Dr Kamyar Tarigi


H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: The Royal Who Reigns Over North American Runways

Few figures in the world of fashion can merge the charisma of a Hollywood star, the diplomacy of a statesman, and the grace of a royal as seamlessly as H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe. A European royal with Danish and German noble lineage and the magnetic presence of a global media personality, the Prince has become the most celebrated fashion show host across North America.

From Los Angeles Fashion Week to Hamptons Fashion Week, from the glittering runways of New York Fashion Week, EPN Fashion Week, and International Heritage Fashion Week at Art Hearts, to the UNGA Week Diplomatic Fashion Gala by Hugues Sanon — Prince Mario-Max stands at the center of the continent’s most glamorous stages. His royal charm, flawless professionalism, and genuine love for the art of couture have made him a living symbol of how elegance transcends time and tradition.

Chapter I: The Los Angeles Fashion Week Legacy — Hollywood Meets Royalty

Los Angeles Fashion Week has always represented the daring, cinematic spirit of American fashion — and with Prince Mario-Max as its star host, it reached new heights of glamour.
Under the glowing lights of LA’s legendary venues, the Prince brought royal poise to a city known for its innovation and dreams. His stage presence combined European refinement with Hollywood magnetism, captivating audiences of designers, stylists, and global influencers.

Each introduction was more than a speech — it was a performance of elegance. The crowd often rose in applause as he greeted designers with the warmth of a seasoned television host and the dignity of a diplomat. In the front rows sat icons from Beverly Hills to Berlin, mesmerized by the royal host who celebrated the diversity of art and fashion with an inclusive, human touch.

As models glided across the runway, Prince Mario-Max’s commentaries transformed each show into a royal experience. “Fashion is the universal language of joy,” he shared from the stage — a quote that soon trended across social media, marking the beginning of his reign as North America’s fashion prince.

Chapter II: Hamptons Fashion Week — Where Seaside Luxury Meets Nobility

The Hamptons, with its breezy elegance and coastal opulence, has long been a haven for art, philanthropy, and high fashion. In 2025, it became the royal runway of H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe, whose presence electrified the event.

Amid the sound of waves and champagne toasts, the Prince opened the shows in white and gold couture — a nod to timeless European sophistication. Hosting the Hamptons Fashion Week, he connected effortlessly with designers, models, and guests, blending the relaxed Hamptons charm with the grandeur of royal tradition.

Every designer he introduced felt celebrated — not just for their artistry but for their vision and purpose. The Prince often emphasized sustainability and innovation, inspiring the audience to see fashion as more than luxury — as a message of creativity, ethics, and future consciousness.

When the sun set over the Atlantic, the Hamptons audience stood to applaud a man who had turned fashion into a royal dialogue of cultures and dreams.

Chapter III: New York Fashion Week — The Royal Heart of the Big Apple

At New York Fashion Week, where the world’s eyes turn every September and February, Prince Mario-Max has become a signature highlight. His royal entrances on the red carpets of Spring Studios and Manhattan’s grand venues are nothing short of cinematic.

Wearing sleek designer tuxedos tailored with royal precision, he brings an Old-World aura to the most modern of stages. As host and runway model, he embodies both leadership and artistry — walking between worlds with ease.

The Prince has been featured at shows for renowned labels, engaging the audience with his quick wit, eloquence, and ability to make every designer feel seen. When he takes the microphone, the atmosphere shifts — his deep voice carries stories of heritage, philanthropy, and fashion diplomacy.

The New York media often refer to him as “The People’s Prince of Fashion,” a figure who represents not only style but also sincerity, integrity, and kindness — virtues that elevate him beyond celebrity status to cultural icon.

Chapter IV: EPN Fashion Week — The Royal Pulse of Elegance and Empowerment

EPN Fashion Week, celebrated for merging fashion with empowerment and global culture, found its perfect host in Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe. Here, he brought his international background and humanitarian spirit to the runway, making each introduction a statement of unity.

As lights shimmered across the catwalk, the Prince highlighted not just couture but the human stories behind the designs. He emphasized how fashion gives a voice to diversity, resilience, and identity — messages that resonated deeply with audiences and global media alike.

EPN’s founder praised him as “the ultimate ambassador between fashion, philanthropy, and diplomacy”, and rightly so — because every event he hosts carries the message of peace through creativity.

Chapter V: International Heritage Fashion Week at Art Hearts — Where Cultures Converge

At International Heritage Fashion Week, hosted by Art Hearts Fashion, the Prince’s deep appreciation for cultural heritage became the essence of the evening. With the spotlight on global designers who honor ancestral techniques, Mario-Max opened the show with a heartfelt reflection on heritage as “the fabric that stitches humanity together.”

His ability to merge royal history with modern artistry inspired designers from around the world — from Africa to Europe, from Asia to the Americas. His introductions celebrated not only beauty but also the endurance of tradition through the art of fashion.

As models showcased designs rooted in history, the Prince reminded the audience that every stitch holds memory — and that fashion is, at its best, the living art of remembrance and renewal.

Chapter VI: Runway 7 — The Royal Stride of Innovation and Style

Runway 7 represents innovation, luxury, and speed — qualities mirrored perfectly by Prince Mario-Max’s energetic and magnetic style. Hosting and walking the runway for several top designers, he transformed the event into an elegant theater of modern glamour.

From contemporary streetwear to haute couture, the Prince adapted effortlessly, bridging fashion’s diverse worlds with humor and dignity. Backstage, young models described him as “the kindest professional they’ve ever met,” while designers applauded his punctuality, charisma, and command of the stage.

Each time he walked the runway, the audience erupted — not just for his regal posture but for the warmth behind his smile. Runway 7 became a royal stage where tradition and technology met under his direction.

Chapter VII: Diana Mahrach Couture — The Royal Muse of Modern Femininity

When Prince Mario-Max hosted Diana Mahrach Couture, the event transformed into a love letter to timeless femininity and sculptural elegance. Diana Mahrach’s ethereal designs — worn by stars and socialites alike — found the perfect narrator in the Prince, who introduced her pieces as “stories in silk.”

His collaboration with the couture house became legendary, reflecting both friendship and shared artistic passion. The Prince’s appreciation for detail, craftsmanship, and emotion mirrored Diana’s own philosophy that beauty lies in confidence and kindness.

As the gowns floated down the runway, the Prince’s poetic commentaries elevated each moment into an unforgettable royal dream.

Chapter VIII: Hugues Sanon UNGA Week Diplomatic Fashion Gala — Couture for Peace

Few fashion events carry as profound a mission as the UNGA Week Diplomatic Fashion Gala by Hugues Sanon. Hosted at the height of United Nations General Assembly Week, this gala merges couture with diplomacy — and no one embodies that harmony better than Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe.

Standing beneath the flags of the world, the Prince opened the gala with a speech on peace, art, and international understanding. Wearing a tailored diplomatic tuxedo accented with subtle royal insignia, he reminded the audience that “fashion, like diplomacy, has the power to connect nations.”

Throughout the evening, he introduced designers whose collections symbolized unity and sustainability. The gala’s finale — a standing ovation — confirmed that this royal host had elevated fashion to a global dialogue of hope and harmony.

Chapter IX: A Royal Legacy in Modern Fashion

Prince Mario-Max’s influence reaches far beyond the runway. His royal lineage — tracing back to Princess Feodora of Denmark and the Founding Princes of Schaumburg-Lippe — adds gravitas to every appearance, but it is his personality that truly wins hearts.

He is more than a host; he is a bridge between continents, a living reminder that nobility is not about privilege, but about purpose. His career as a TV host, Bertelsmann author, and philanthropist has earned him recognition as a symbol of global goodwill, while his passion for style places him among fashion’s most admired figures.

In every city he visits — from Los Angeles to Palm Beach, from the Hamptons to New York — audiences remember his grace, humor, and generosity of spirit.

Epilogue: The Crown of Style

As the curtain falls on each runway, one truth remains: H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe is not just hosting fashion — he’s redefining it.

With every show, he turns glamour into meaning, couture into connection, and the runway into a realm where kindness reigns. His royal crown may symbolize tradition, but his heart beats for the future of fashion — diverse, inclusive, and radiant.
