Discover the Path of Awareness
Your Journey in I Liq Chuan / Zhong Xin Dao

 

Embark on a transformative martial arts journey with I Liq Chuan / Zhong Xin Dao, the Martial Art of Awareness. Our comprehensive student curriculum is designed to guide you through a profound exploration of self, movement, and application, all under the expert guidance of Licensed Instructors.

At its core, Zhong Xin Dao is a philosophy grounded in mindfulness and self-discovery. We believe that by understanding how to be truly present, you can unlock greater potential in all aspects of your life. Our school uses mindful martial exercises as a powerful tool to achieve this goal, and the I Liq Chuan curriculum serves as the embodiment of this practice.

Structured Learning, Expert Guidance

Our classes and events are exclusively led by Licensed Instructors. They are not only highly skilled practitioners of I Liq Chuan but also certified evaluators, ensuring you receive personalized instruction and clear feedback on your progress. This expert guidance helps you deepen your understanding and application of the principles.

Your Curriculum: From Foundational Awareness to Practical Application

Our meticulously structured curriculum comprises 12 Student Levels and 6 Application Levels. As a student, you have the flexibility to complete the entire curriculum at your own pace, with absolutely no obligation to become a Licensed Instructor. Whether your goal is personal growth, enhanced self-awareness, or even practical self-defense, our program supports your individual aspirations.

Student Levels (Entry through 11): Cultivating Inner Reference 

The core purpose of our Student Levels is to help you first recognize and then consistently maintain the correct internal reference for each stage of your training. This foundational understanding is crucial for developing genuine awareness in your body and mind. You’ll learn to feel, understand, and control your movements with precision and intention, fostering a deeper connection to your own internal system.

Application Levels (1 through 6): Bridging Awareness to Action

The Application Levels are strategically integrated throughout the curriculum to ensure that the philosophical principles, core concepts, and fundamental principles you gain in the Student Levels are effectively translated into practical application. This training focuses on using the right reference for real-world scenarios, whether it’s navigating complex movements or responding effectively in self-defense situations. These levels ensure you can apply your cultivated awareness dynamically and effectively.
