About Master Sam F.S. Chin

Master Sam Chin has spent his life learning and refining the I Liq Chuan system.

He was a Selangor state heavy weight kickboxing champion in 1978. During the 1980's,
Master Chin continually won Push Hand Championships.

Through his own practice of Buddhist Chan (Zen) philosophies he has gained a deeper understanding of the concept of Awareness. This insight resulted in the tremendous improvement of I Liq Chuan as a martial art. Master Sam Chin has instructed countless students and promoted a select few to the level of instructor. Master Sam Chin's arduous undertaking has resulted in an increased interest in I Liq Chuan all across the globe.

Long time practitioners of many types of martial arts are amazed to see how the study of the internal principles through the lens of I Liq Chuan deepens their understanding of their respective arts.

Super Trance Friday

Listen to trance - spin hands, kick and punch - unburdened by melody or lyrics... then standing meditation. 90+ minutes of fun.

Can you be mindful?

Can you have an open mind or do you fall back to habit, tunnel vision, fear and loathing?

Find out what you’re made of.

No sparring or fighting, just punching equipment and safe, supportive partner training.

‘Gom’ is Tibetan for ‘get to know’ and what our meditation is all about.
