Grand Master Sam F. S. Chin SF Bay Area I Liq Chuan Workshop - December 2 & 3, 2017
"Awareness is consciousness allied to knowledge. It includes being attentive to what goes on both inside yourself and in the external world. Awareness cannot be taught verbally. It has to be experienced. In order to be experienced, a particular learning situation needs to be created. This situation must both stimulate awareness and pose problems that only heightened awareness can solve."

Instructors and Students are encouraged to invite people from other martial arts and related mind/body disciplines. Please join us and also spread the word if you know someone who this material would be of interest and benefit too.

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.

He has been teaching for over 30 years and has conducted seminars and workshops internationally. .
