With Maître Jean-Luc Lesueur

Did you ever want to spend some time for in-depth martial arts training? Did you ever look for a martial art which not only develops your fighting skills but also your sensitivity to you and your environment as well as nurturing your health? Are you looking for an art which can develop inner strength and resiliance?

Then join us at our Yi Quan and Taikiken Seminar in Liguria. Here you can learn from super-experienced Maître Jean-Luc Lesueur who is training different martial arts for more then 60 years. He is a direct successor of Sawai Kenichi (Taikiken), Li Jianyu (Yi Quan), Wang Wenyong (Shuai Jiao) and Liu Jingru (Baguazhang). So he has really a deep understanding of all different aspects of martial arts like grappling, throwing, locking, kicking and punching. And what is the best? He is a very gentle and friendly teacher with a „born to teach“ mindset. So don’t be surprised if you find him teaching in breaks between training.

For who?

This seminar is both for advanced martial artists but also beginners. Maître Lesueur is able to teach in a way to help people with all skill levels.

What is the seminar about?

We are going into an in-depth research of different things like:

- the fundamentals of Zhang Zhuan/Ritsuzen (postures) and their meaning for health and combat

- links between postures and movement and the connection to Shili (testing strength), Mocabu (friction step) and Jianwu (martial dance)).
- How Yi Quan can improve other martial arts you are practising
- The value of slow movement
- How to get to Fali (explosive movement)
- Particularity of Yi Quan and Taikiken at the level of Tuishou

- the guard in combat and the way of fighting

- the work of sound (Shisheng and Hake).
- Percussion techniques specific to each discipline, link with the Wu Jing (five elements) and the five animals.

Since Yi Quan and Taikiken are living arts the teaching can be adjusted and focus on specifics, exclude some topics or include others.

Dolce Vita in a ligurian Villa

This time we are based in a ligurian villa with single and double rooms (in case you want to stay with your spouse or friend). The beautiful hilly and foresty landscape is nurturing your visual senses while training or relaxing. The villa is surrounded by a park of 80.000 m². The facility comes with a 72m² conference room, a large swimming pool and tennis court. On day three we will have a day off so you can enjoy the ligurian sea (30 min.). Although Jean-Luc is very often teaching during the breaks you can always take your time to relax and recreate yourself.

After you succesfully finished the seminar you will receive a certificate of participation from Maître Lesueur which you can use for your further martial or professional carreer.

Important: The seminar fee includes both the tuition fee and accommodation. Due to different eating habits, each participant is responsible for their own meals (a large and nice communal kitchen is available).

Maître Jean-Luc Lesueur – over 60 years of martial arts experience – don’t miss the chance to learn from him.
