About the art

Zhong Xin Dao/I Liq Chuan is known as the Martial Art of Awareness. It is based on feel and neutral mindset. During all movements and exercises the skill that we are training is to listen to our senses. We recognize how the mechanism of the body feels so we can feel what movement is natural. To develop listening power we must drop habits, judgments, and thinking.

Basic exercises allow us to develop mindfulness and natural movement of the body. Later we incorporate this into appropriate action on the point of contact with the opponent.
