The I Liq Chuan Weekend workshop on April 27 & 28  will focus on

The Process of 'Zhong Xin Dao' - Cultivating the Neutral Path'.

You will learn - 'How to Listen' - 'Ting' and 'How to Feed' the correct energy to your partner so you can refine both your own and your partners skill level. This is perhaps the most important key to progress in the Internal Martial Arts.

Throughout this class you be be building awareness of the Neutral Point and 
refining the feel of the Neutral Touch in Application.
Recognizing the Neutral Half-line to establish offense and defense / full and empty.

Direct Knowing through Linking and Reflection 
You will be instructed to clearly feel and access the Three Engagements, (Circle with Center, Center with Center, Center with Cross); with an emphasis on refining the use of Peng Energy – the Internal and External Force Field Spheres of Offense & Defense.

You will learn partner work with Condense & Expand to measure the strength of your opponent’s sphere.

Your training will progress to understand how these conditions interrelate, and recognize and manifest the feel of the furthest point
using awareness of Six Directional Energy and Yin & Yang muscle balance.

The I Liq Chuan 5 Element Nei Gung will be covered with emphasis on partner work using the Qualities and Force Dynamics
of the 5 Elements within the context of the 6 Physical Points, 3 Mental Factors and the 'Suchness' Feel.

In a safe environment you will learn to:

•    Maintain the Sphere of Defense while finding the space to strike an opponent
•    Generate power from your Feet, through your Body, to your Hands
•    Maintaining Fullness at the Point to Recognize the limit
•    Place attention on your five senses in order to develop listening  power
•    Coiling to maintain centers - understanding curved and straight line forces
•    Theory and Application of Meet and Match
•    Remembering The 13 Points - individual exercises
•    Partner training - The point of contact as three points
•    Misconceptions about Rooting
•    Why it is important to develop a true mobile Root that lightly touches the floor
•    Footwork - Maintaining Readiness
•    Body Coordination for issuing power (Fa-jing)
•    Offering & Mirroring
•    Leading your opponents the Mind and Movements

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.

About Grandmaster Sam F.S. Chin: Sifu Sam Chin is an impressive man, an 
excellent teacher and a kind person.
He also possesses extraordinary skill in his family's art of "I Liq 
Chuan" translated as "Mind Strength Fist".
which is growing rapidly worldwide with Instructors and Practitioners in 
20 countries.
I Liq Chuan is a synthesis of Tai Chi, Hsing-I, Ba Gua and Hakka arts 
and also a merging of Taoist and Buddhist teaching.

Grandmaster Sam F.S. Chin is the co-founder and head instructor of I-Liq 
Chuan trained martial arts since childhood by his father - the founder 
of I Liq Chuan, Chin Lik Keong.

During the 1980's, Master Sam Chin won numerous competitions, as well as 
the state heavy weight kick-boxing championships of Selangor (Malaysia) 
in 1978.
He has been teaching for over 30 years and has conducted seminars and 
workshops internationally. .
Master Chin has been recognized by the USA Wushu Kung-Fu Federation as a 
Hall of Fame Outstanding Master.

In August 2009, Grandmaster Sam F.S. Chin was officially named the Gate 
Keeper/Lineage Holder of the art by his father.
