The real trick of pursuing a martial art like I Liq Chuan over the long term is recognizing the end of the duality of "on the mat" and "off the mat", so that one is always training.
The I Liq Chuan system guide opens with the following;
意力合一
yi li he yi “awareness and the physical (actions) as one”
意控制力
yi kong zhi li “awareness gains control over the physical”
用意用不力
yong yi bu yong li “use (only) awareness and not physical (force)”
