The workshop will cover a series of two person exercises to develop effective spinning and sticky hand technique. The power of spherical movements and their relation to controlling, off-balancing, and neutralizing an opponent. The I-Liq Chuan concepts and training presented at the workshop correlate directly to principles of internal martial arts, such as Taijiquan or Aikido, and the skills are useful for all martial arts.
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.
