Masters in Residence Series
Master Hsin Chin
Zhong Xin Dao – I Liq Chuan
September 19th - 21st 2026

LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE
We’re capping attendance to keep this personal so you get direct, specific feedback on what your body’s doing—and what needs to change

Who is This For:

  • Martial artists practitioners of Tai Chi, Hsing-I, Ba Gua, I Chuan, Aikido, Systema, Wing Chun, Jujitsu, Judo, Karate, Kung Fu, Wrestling, Boxing etc., who’ve tasted something deeper but can’t produce that quality consistently - If you’ve known something deeper was there but couldn’t quite access it…This is it.
  • Body-workers, and Acupuncturists who understand the Nervous System and 3 Dimensional Spiral Nature of the 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 amazing, clear descriptions of Anatomical Function as they relate to Martial Arts and Mind-Body disciplines
  • Practitioners of Meditation, Yoga and Somatics Arts and Therapies who want to increase their interoception and proprioceptive 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 train in a supportive non-competitive environment and connect with an authentic reliable source of quality information in an age of short attention spans and too much disinformation. In the words of one of my students with an extensive Wing Chun Background after a recent correspondence…”There is a significant signal to noise ratio problem in these arts. This is the central reason why Kung Fu has declined - you have hundreds of OK/mediocre/wrong teachers sharing their faulty information with impressive certainty - how is any beginner/intermediate student to tell the difference when they come upon them?"

Testimonials for Hsin Chin

Sifu Bernard Langan:

"thanks for organizing the “standing room only” Master Hsin Chin Seminar.  Very absorbing program indeed. It was held at In Motion Center in Oakland.
I don’t normally post material on Facebook, but would like to send this note for everyone to read about my experience, last week.
Hsin is a Master and 'Heir Apparent' of the Zhong Xin Dao/I Liq Chuan Art of the Chin Family; he is the son of the lineage holder Grandmaster Sam Chin.  He has a thoughtful mind, big shoulders, strong hips and powerful legs. As a teacher, he manifests gentle calmness, and a deep capacity to engage with individual practitioners and distill and refine their movements both mentally and physically.  His clarity and his attentiveness to the limitations and capabilities of each practitioner, enables them to enhance their abilities and to utilize their innate tools. Individuals are heart-fully encouraged to uncover ways of effectively balancing the flow of their body dynamics.  When in doubt he would humbly default to “ask my Father”. He is keenly aware of each individual practitioner’s specific needs: listening attentively and feeding appropriately; not overwhelmingly. At the same time, he can speak to the entire group and personally to each participant.
It’s nice to work out and train with Master Hsin, a gentle giant from the pedigree of established founding practitioners.  As 'a curious old guy on the block', I know that Hsin and The ZXD process has made a significant difference in the lifestyle changes of my current total lifelong learning. I have attended many of his intensives over the past several years, and they are all totally enjoyable. 
Thanks, Hsin!"
Wan Chan, MD Comment from Master Hsin Chin:

"Thank you very much for the kind testimonial Wan, you're a pleasure to have and a wonderful inspiration for me, and the rest of our community.
Comment from Sifu Bernard Langan:


"Wonderful Share - Wan ! - FYI the 'curious old guy on the block'; Dr. Wan Chan is truly an inspiration to everyone in Zhong Xin Dao/I Liq Chuan who has the opportunity to train with this fine gentleman. Born in Malaysia, he is a retired Obstetric Physician with a career spanning 50 years - delivering 10,000+ babies on 3 continents and in 4 countries; Wan speaks 4 languages. After the seminar this weekend, I asked Wan how he got started - he said 'Serendipity' - 'Good Luck in making Unexpected and Fortunate Discoveries.';
recounting that he was an avid traveler, golfer and fly fisherman; before a hand injury 10 years ago prompted him to begin training in the Internal Martial Arts.

At the age of 75, Wan began learning Tai Chi from expert Instructor Sifu Michael Chan at Tai Chi Tutelage of Palo Alto.
Wan describes himself as a 'lifelong learner' and thinks his practice of I Liq Chuan for the last 5 years will allow him to live a healthier more productive life. I asked Wan, now 85, if he thought his practice would also help him live longer - he replied, "Definitely, healthier and more productively, but it is honestly hard to say what will allow someone to live longer; and what is the point of living longer, if you are not healthy and enjoying what you are doing." Wan is always the first practitioner to sign up for Zhong Xin Dao/I Liq Chuan workshops, and keeps me and other Instructors who are assisting very busy answering his questions and giving him feedback.
 
One's present circumstances do not determine where you can go.  It merely determines where you begin. If you are interested in training Internal Martial Arts, Nei Gung and Qi-gong to a high level of skill, in a community of like minded people, In Motion Center in conjunction with TTOPA we will be bringing Hsin's Father, our teacher Grandmaster Sam Chin - a remarkable Martial Artist to the Bay Area December 11th - 15th, 2025 . Master Hsin is be back in the spring 2026 and we are looking to announce a seminar for Hsin's Sister Yen Lee - who will be taught and shared her outstanding skill for the first time at her own seminar in Europe last April.

"I have had the good fortune to meet and train with Master Hsin Chin thru several years of seminars.   He has a sensitive touch.   His feedback is detailed.  He takes his time to see and feel what I’m doing, and then gives specific instructions for me to feel more directly, my structure, movement and especially my attention.   Though he is at an incredibly higher level than me, he is able to relate to my level, and give me feedback that I can work with.   Hsin pushes me to my limit, to expand understanding.  Hsin has the feel of ZXD/ILC and is ever so generous in sharing it."
