Zhong Xin Dao - I Liq Chuan

Paris

Next workshop: Joshua Craig 30 Nov & 1st Dec at 7 Rue Jean Macé, 87100 Limoges. To register, contact: april.dixon@iliqchuan.com

Zhong Xin Dao Paris is a non-profit association dedicated to sharing the art of I Liq Chuan (literally translated as Mental-Physical Martial Art). The art cultivates consciousness based on Tai Chi and Chan (Zen) principles of non-assertion, non-resistance, harmony of yin and yang, oneness and the present moment. The art is also known as “The Martial Art of Awareness”. 

Zhong Xin Dao is the name of the training process developed by Grandmaster Sam Chin; the literal translation is Zhong – 中 – Center, Xin – 心 – Heart, and Dao – 道 – Path. As a system of Kung Fu, Zhong Xin Dao 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, F’a Jing, Chi Kung (qigong), and most importantly, integration of the mind’s awareness in the present moment.

Weekly classes are in English, with french translation when needed.

The latest schedule, cancellations, and extra classes are listed on our Google Galendar.

You can attend 2 free classes in September or January, and signup then. 

Everyone is welcome, no previous experience is needed.

No special clothes are needed, just make sure you can move comfortably, and make sure to dress appropriately for the weather: we train outside and we do some standing meditation (under some shelter if it rains).
