The history of I-Liq Chuan is cryptic. My father Chin Lik Keong is the Grandmaster of the system, and he learned the art from Sifu Lee Kam Chow in Malaysia. At that time, the art was called Hsing I-Pa Kua. Some people called it Feng Yang Chuan or Liew Mun Pai (nomadic clan) and it originated from Wudang Mountain. It was a hidden martial art skill used by these nomads to protect themselves on the open roads and was not open to the public, and only passed down secretly. The higher levels of skill were kept for the family members.
My father traced the history of the style to find its origins. He found that I-Liq Chuan training methods didn't really look like Hsing I Chuan, I Chuan, Pa Kua Chuan, or T'ai-Chi Chuan, yet they contained the principles of all four. My father continued his research and expanded on what he had learned. He came to the conclusion that I-Liq Chuan was an art of self-recognition and self-realization of both the mental (I) and the physical (Liq). So, feeling uncomfortable with naming the art under any one of the internal styles he renamed it I Liq Chuan. In 1976 Grandmaster Chin formed the I Liq Chuan Association in Malaysia
Traditionally trained since his childhood with his father, Grand Master Chin Lik-Keong, the founder of the art.

I-Liq Chuan is a style of Kung Fu based solely on physical sensitivity and sensorial mind awareness - not on developing techniques for dealing with particular situations. It is an art of unifying mental and physical. To understand how they effect each other and to unify and coordination them. Through the learning process, of which is merely to recognize and realize and not to accumulate or imitate as that is just building another habit. In the training system which the students need to recognize the six physical points and three mental factors. They train through the process of understanding muscular movement, body structure [skeleton]. Incorporating chi [energy] and the mental process. Relaxation is an essential component of the art. Relaxation contains the process of looseness, softness, elasticity, and fa jing [issuing power]. As soon as an I-Liq Chuan practitioner touches an opponent's hands or body, he can feel instantly what strike or technique the opponent is going to use and where the opponent's weight and center of gravity is extending. Ultimately, the I-Liq Chuan practitioner is able to sense the opponent's intention, even without contact, through awareness. He can then redirect the force and use it against the opponent or incorporate the use of f'a jing [energy release] strikes depending on the threat level.
It's the mind that leads and the body that follows. When you are trying to move your opponent, first lead his mind before you move his body. By trying to move your opponent with just brute force alone, his body feels heavy.
The mind has neither weight nor volume. If the art of leading the mind is mastered, a woman or a child can easily defeat a big man. By leading your opponent's mind, he leads his own body movement.
Originally I -Liq Chuan had no forms, it was a formless art. At first the system only contained specialized sticky hands practice, its resulting sensitivities, and Ch'i Kung. Now the system has expanded and includes two training forms, but the applications are still learned from the sticky hands practice which is based on feel. The primary emphasis of I-Liq Chuan is awareness, which develops in time from practicing and applying the philosophy.
An I-Liq Chuan student is taught from form to become formless. There are no fixed moves every move is based on the conditions; what the condition is and what your move is. Only when you are merging with an opponent's energy at every moment, can you use your own energy appropriately and precisely.
