Class sizes are typically small and are structured around the skill level of the participants in a semi-private lesson format.

Each class is two hours long and follows the basic outline below:

• Stretching and warm ups (10-15 minutes)
• Basics and drills (15-40 minutes)
• Partner Training -Spinning and Sticky Hands (30-60 minutes)

Each class will cover the three sections of I Liq Chuan;

1. Tai Chi and Zen principles and philosophy as well as I Liq Chuan concepts that help the student to bridge the gap between theory and application of Tai Chi and Zen to their martial arts and life.
2. Solo Training. This consists of the 15 Basic exercises and 21 and Butterfly form.
3. Partner training (Spinning and Sticky Hands)

Questions from the students are always welcome during class. This approach makes for a good workout for both the mind and body. We say that I Liq Chuan is like an onion, in that we are always looking to peel away the layers to recognize the essence of the movements. What this means is that the I Liq Chuan curriculum is quite lean, yet we seek to constantly refine what we have already learned rather than constantly adding more and new techniques.
