In Beautiful Liguria

With Maître Jean-Luc Lesueur

Why Join This Seminar?

Have you ever wanted to dedicate real time to deep, immersive martial arts training? Are you looking for an art that not only sharpens your fighting skills but also enhances your sensitivity to yourself and your environment while strengthening your health? Do you seek a practice that builds inner power and true resilience?

Then join us for our Yi Quan & Taikiken Seminar in Liguria!

Learn directly from Maître Jean-Luc Lesueur, who has been training in multiple martial arts for more than 60 years. He is a direct successor of Sawai Kenichi (Taikiken), Li Jianyu (Yi Quan), Wang Wenyong (Shuai Jiao), and Liu Jingru (Baguazhang). His experience reflects a profound understanding of all aspects of martial arts—grappling, throwing, locking, kicking, and striking.

And the best part? He is a kind, generous, and approachable teacher with a true passion for sharing knowledge. Don’t be surprised if he continues teaching even during the breaks.

Upon successful completion, you will receive a certificate of participation from Maître Lesueur to support your martial arts journey or professional development.

Who is it for?

This seminar welcomes both beginners and advanced martial artists. Maître Lesueur is highly skilled at guiding participants of all experience levels.

Seminar Topics

We will explore a wide range of subjects in depth, including:

• Fundamentals of Zhang Zhuang / Ritsuzen (standing postures) for health and combat
• How posture links to movement, including Shili, Mocabu, and Jianwu
• How Yi Quan can enhance your other martial arts
• The value and benefits of slow movement
• Developing Fali (explosive power)
• Tuishou insights unique to Yi Quan & Taikiken
• Guard positions and strategic combat approaches
• Use of sound (Shisheng and Hake)
• Percussion and striking methods, and their relation to the Wu Jing (Five Elements) and the Five Animals

(As Yi Quan and Taikiken are living, evolving arts, content may be adapted to the group’s needs.)
