Notes from ILiqChuan Seminar with Master Sam Chin

Its all about flow

awareness

Absorb and Project are the two primary energies

to feel tension
Begin rocking
back and forth
heel to ball of foot
feel how tension goes away
when you rest on the Bubbling Well

"wrap" the toes from pinky to big toe
and rise the energy to the perineum

shoulders "wraps" to hips
for good Fajing

double yang or double yin
is when both hands express either absorb or project
instead of expressing both energies

use innner adduction "goat" stance
to feel the opening of the Ming Men point
keep it open
so you can project

Ming Men is Yang and Projects
Dan Tien is Yin and Absorbs

Imagine "suction" into the sternum
and the Dan Tien
keep both closed

line up perineum
on the line between the Bubbling Well points

Rise and descend
feel the energy in the Qua

when you go too low
it gets stuck
in the knee

too high
it raise over top of the pelvis

from the feet line three triangles
can be defined upwards
to perineum
to sternum
to crown

body line is 90 out from shoulder
in of that is close_use Absorb
out is open_use Project
cross body line
then make the hand change happen

3 centers of mass:
upper, mid, lower

to Freeze the opponent
control 2 mass centers upon first contact
