WHO IS THIS FOR?
Martial artists practitioners of Tai Chi, Hsing-I Ba Gua, I Chuan, Aikido, Systema, Wing Chun, Jujitsu, Judo etc., who’ve tasted something deeper but can’t access it consistently - If you’ve known something deeper was there but couldn’t quite access it…This is it.
- Body-workers, Acupuncturists and Healthcare Professionals who understand the Nervous System and Energy Channels, but want to feel kinetic intelligence in action
- Educators who want to investigate an Embodied Learning Pedagogy with a proven track record for merging Eastern/Western philosophies and frameworks that guide teaching outlining somatic approaches and strategies
- Meditation and Yoga and Practitioners of Somatics Arts and Therapies who want to increase their interoception and proprioception skills, through a dynamic practice of embodied cognition, directly experiencing the crucial role your body plays in shaping your thoughts and brain processes which are deeply intertwined with your somatic experiences and interactions with your environment
- Dancers and Movement Teachers (Pilates, Gyrotonics, Feldenkrais, etc.) who crave structure-based flow that moves from the inside-out—not just shape and style.
- Anyone sincerely interested in Internal Cultivation who wants to see and feel the true mechanics of awareness, balance, and presence - and connect with an authentic reliable source of this information with a like-minded community for people in a supportive non-competitive training environment.
YOU WILL LEAVE WITH:
The confidence to practice correctly: I have a distance student who recently reported to me; when he was here in person, that when he practices, he has a lot of ‘questions’. However after speaking with him further we both came to realize he has a lot ‘doubt’ about his ability to practice correctly on his own
- This seminar will give you the confidence to practice correctly so your time and efforts are well spent.
- A clearer sense of your own center - physically and energetically.
- The ability to feel space and move with precision instead of guesswork.
- A practical understanding of balance, timing, and force.
- Tools to refine awareness in every moment, on and off the mat.
This is your invitation to encounter the core of I Liq Chuan - how movement and awareness co-arise.
To train not only the body - but the mind that perceives movement.
To return to the One Balance Point, where balancing is not something you do - it is what you are.
This is not just a seminar - it’s a transformation in perception.

ABOUT MASTER SAM F.S.CHIN:
Born in Malaysia into a family lineage of martial tradition, Grand Master Sam F.S. Chin is the founder and Gatekeeper of Zhong Xin Dao I Liq Chuan.
His pioneering methods have transformed how martial arts, meditation, and somatic education intersect. Students describe his teaching not as instruction, but as revelation—an invitation to see clearly and act effortlessly.
About I-Liq Chuan: http://www.iliqchuan.com/ I-Liq Chuan (roughly translated as ""Mind Strength Fist") is an art of cultivating consciousness based on Tai Chi and Chan (Zen) principles of non-assertion, non-resistance, the harmony of yin and yang, oneness, and the present moment. I Liq Chuan is an art which is growing rapidly worldwide with Instructors and Practitioners in 30 countries. A brilliant synthesis of Tai Chi, Hsing-I, Ba Gua, Shaolin and Hakka arts, I Liq Chuan is also a merging of Taoist and Buddhist teaching. Master Sam Chin was trained in martial arts from childhood by his father - the founder of I Liq Chuan, Grand Master Chin Lik Keong. As a system of Kung Fu, I-Liq Chuan emphasizes the development of internal power through mental attitude and awareness. Martial training develops sticking and merging abilities, circular spiral energy, Chin Na (locking), Fa Jing (projecting force), Nei Kung, Chi Kung, and most importantly, the 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.
