ILC has it's roots in the hakka arts. Southern mantis is also hakka. =)

Thanks Bartek! Thinking about doing a follow up on winding for footwork and breaking some cement blocks...

No, we don't talk about that kind of stuff.

+Pascal O Hi Pascal, thanks for watching. I do offer some distance coaching, and I could do a consult through Google hangouts or Skype. Hit me through the contact form on my website innerstrengthgym.com/contact/

Wudang Principles Québec you need to breathe out strong to stiffen and "pulse" the diaphragm so that for a split second upper and lower body are fully unified to transfer the whole body power.

Good to see you point of view. It's make sense. As you know there is many view on the breathing when releasing power.

Wudang Principles Québec yes, of course. My goal is just to share ILC point of view with those who may want to join me on that journey, but of course there are many points of view (it's one of the things we talk about in ILC philosophy actually). :)

Yes of course FOCUS on your art is the main thing! I focus on Baji chuan but also explore the diversity of chinese boxing. Glad to find your chanel one of the rare gem on youtube.

Wudang Principles Québec oh, wow! thanks so much for that. all the best.

+sting sting - depends on how you want to look at it. for practical purposes you can just say it's the feeling.

+sting sting find a good teacher. ;)

Learn to use the Ming Men and Dan Tian or the front and back bow - this will add power from your core

My advice is to look for a Sifu who has studied Chu Shong Tin Wing Chun.

Thank you sir!

No, my Sijo learned several arts from different masters in Malaysia. The core of ILC comes from GM Lee Kam Chow who taught the spinning and sticky hand techniques to Sijo, but we're not 100% sure if it was two arts (feng yang xing yi and ruyi bagua) or if it was all one art called feng yang ru yi. In any case GM Chin Lee Keong only taught the core of what he learned and got rid of any fluff, so it didn't really look like any of the traditional arts he learned of other masters so they started calling it I Liq Chuan in the 70s and the name stuck.

awesome! Thanks for the info

Absolutely not. 😆

multiple rotational forces on different planes effectively create a spiraling type of force.

It's just meant as a minimum threshold. I was considering accepting your challenge, but I don't believe it would be possible to set up three boards from all six directions. In any case, mostly these would be used to attack the opponents hands, so you don't need a huge amount of force to damage the hands.

Difference is, in sport karate they do use high amplitude strikes to break stuff as opposed to one-inch power here. If on the other hand you mean Okinawan styles - you can't say "any brown belt" as if it's nothing.Brown belt in Goju or Shorin is legit, just as good as an Iliqchuan instructor ;)
