North Carolina I-Liq Chuan is pleased to welcome back Master Sam F.S. Chin for another I-Liq Chuan workshop. Sifu Chin will review the previous workshop topics and continue to refine the two person spinning and sticky hands.  This year Sifu Chin will also teach a separate Friday afternoon session to introduce basic elements of sanda (free fighting) training.  This sanda introduction will focus on foundational skills such as briding and mirroring.  No gear will be needed for this session.

Past workshops have been quite enlightening and well attended. Space is limited. Please register early to ensure that you have a spot.

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-assertion, non-resistance, harmony of yin and yang, oneness, and the present moment. As a system of gong 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, qinna (locking), fajin (projecting force), qigong, 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 to incorporate the use of fajin.
