About I-Liq Chuan:
I-Liq Chuan (roughly translated as "mind-body fist") is an art of
cultivating consciousness based on Tai Chi and Chan (Zen) principles of
non-assertions, non-resistance, harmony of yin and yang, oneness, and
the present moment. As a system of kung fu, I-Liq Chuan emphasizes the
development of internal power through mental attitude and awareness. The
training develops sticking and merging abilities, circular spiral
energy, Chin Na (locking), Fa Jing (projecting force), Chi Kung, and
most importantly, integration of the mind's complete awareness in the
present moment. I-Liq Chuan trains the ability to sense the opponent's
intention through awareness and to redirect the force and use it against
the opponent or incorporate the use of Fa Jing.
