A brief introduction of the five layers in the Yik kam transform.

  1. Physical body layer.

This layer describe the physical body the keys of handling physical body.

The body structures both in static and dynamic state , six bows, the alignment of feel, spine , and head, and the definition of loose are defined and experienced.

  1. The mind layer

This layer describe the mind and the keys of handling the mind.

The mind layers tools : thinking, intention, aware, visualization , and present are defined introduced and experienced.

The mind layers tools are tools used for fine handling physical structure, force vectors, Qi cultivation , mental stability, and ect. This is beyond the coarse handling of physical body.

  1. The breathing layer

This layer describe the breathing layer and the keys of handling the breathing.

The natural lower breathing which increase the breathing volume are define and experienced.

  1. The Qi layer

This layer describe the Qi layer and the keys of handling the Qi.

The grow of Qi and the effect of Qi in physical body are defined and experienced.

This layer is dependent on the well handling of the physical , mind, and breathing layers.

  1. The force vector, momentum types, and basic core martial application tactic characteristic layer.

This layer describes power generation, force balancing, momentum , and basic core martial application tactic characteristic for Wing Chun Kuen and the keys for handling them. Each details are defined and experienced.

For example :

the different between body type of power generation and force line type of power generation which always involve returning part of the force vector circuit. The consideration of recycle of momentum. The different between Pulse power and thrust power.

Layer 5 is the layer which makes the art a martial art while all other layer are a support to the 5th layer.

These five layers catagorization is an attemp to describe what existed in 1850 era Wing Chun Kuen in a modern day language, to aid a better understanding of the ancient art which was presented in a classical Chinese culture view. And to bring out the details involved in that era.

The Yik kam transform process consist of the well define subject as above accompay with various static and dynamic drill to bring one into direct experience and understanding of every layer in a tangible way.

It is called the Yik Kam transform because it is a tool for expand and evolve the boundary of one’s Wing Chun kuen disregards of lineage with the 1850 era Wing Chun Kuen contents. So that the missing coud be found , the partial can be make whole, and promote a healthy and balance evolution towards the future. Via the transform to activate the Wing Chun Kuen three sets engine and identify where are the internal art located within the sets are no longer a dream but real.

Wing Chun 1850 is a science and technology, not a myth , cult, or legend.
And we do have the 1850 technology available.

A new era begin 2012 , unavoidable, it is all about education on what has been existed.

Expect a good fun summer.

According to Yik kam Prior to the art was named wing Chun kuen.

It was given the name siu Lin tau. Meaning the essential training of details.
The devil is in the small details is the strength of wing Chun kuen. Handling of small details is the basis of the short Jin.

Mike,

Great!

As we share sigung Ven. Hsu yin.

I have two more sigungs, they are Sek Ko Sam the shaolin martial monk in Indonesia , and dr. Ma li tang one of the top martial artists, tcm doctor, and qigong master. All these people share a mission and that is provide hope to the less fortunate.

13

I don’t own the yik kam transform. It is a treasure of the red boat WCK ancestors. So it has to be available free for all wcners.

I will share every thing I know beside layer five because I am Buddhist now, It is no longer my interest to talk about how destructive is the weapons to destroy.

Rather, to use all the other four layers of information to build a positive , strong, healthy, and solid wcner.

In the Yik kam transform process. The yoga ball is an instrument to test out momentum, force vectors objectively. One can actually see the different type of power generations pattern and momentum handling. One can test out if shift with heels shift with ball of the feet…forward pressure..ect works or not.

Only when one can see it feel it, one can develop them. It is engineering not lip service.

Thank you for sharing

Months ago I release the yik kam slt kuen kuit. In order to understand the kuen kuit one needs the five layers knowledge otherwise one cannot comprehend.

So the five layers is the fundamental of the 1850 wing Chun.

Trust me I already like it just from the sound of it and the results that Mike has been achieving in such a short period of time.

Well said.

Yik kam transform is an operating manual of our own body mind. Once we know the functions of our mind and body, the more we use them the more we will be good at it.
And the limit is only depend on how much one uses it.

Yik kam transform is a transform because it leads one to aware. Once one aware of what one has not aware one will no longer the same.

It is the aware and experience of the body mind which is categorize in the five layers kick starts ones evolution in ones body and mind. And at that point the evolution started and cannot be reversed.

Thus, an exposé to the transform of 24 hours push one into another body mind state and the world after that will no longer be the same. As it says, toto this is not Kansas anymore.

In the ancient china. This transform is named as sum fatt or mind method. It is only given to the inner chamber students in the blood line. That is because without the mind method. Ones practice will hit platoe and flat out and degrade while aging. With mind method there is alternative.

Thus, the yik kam transform is the yik kam slt sum fatt coin in the modern language. It has to work because it is a scientific educational process. And it is a holistic balance process.

Yes. These sum fatt things exist in 1850 wing Chun. Try it and you will know it is real.

For those who is in MIT and other Engineering colleges.

The yik kam transform process is called transform because

  1. It is a process to promote transformation to break the boundary of the initial state.

  2. The five layers is analog to the layers in the neuron network of artificial intelligent design , where the intelligent is in every layer and the integration of all layers.

  3. It is similar to Laplace transform , with one deal with the reality in the Laplace domain to have the advantage of easier to grasp the subject and process and simplified the operation to algebraic instead of diff Eqs. With yik kam transform one dealing with the reality with zoom in to each layer and zoom out to all layers as needed.

Thus, yik kam transform is a tool. However, whether it is a Jedi training process or Dath Vaders clone Ning , that heavy rely on humanistic maturity. Thus, I suggest to limit the Depth of the fifth layer. Never give a neucler bomb to a kid even though we know every details how to Do mass production.

It is a 1850 concept with 2010 design. I am not a martial artist but a system architect .

I told the people who learn the Yik Kam transform that

if one replace the force vector, momentum, and figthing tactic layer to diet and nutrition layer. one will have a Transform for healthy holistic living.

I believe it is time to raise this issue because martial artists needs to be strong and healthy to protect others. instead of going through all type of macho stuffs and by the age of 45, the body run like an old car.

So, with the fifth layer replace into a diet and nutrition layer one has a very good chance to live a healthy live. in fact, I hope someone teach these stuff in high school.

My teacher in organic food use to tell me to never donate can food. He told me that, the less fortunate is already less fortunate. if we give them bad food. they will not have a chance. especially the young kid and teenages on the street. if they have bad food their body will not work properly and thus get into bad mood and will not think properly. That way how can they study and make a better living later? it is a dead trap spiral downward. So, diet is a serious issue.

Sure, the well todo can eat organic food. however, even the less fortunate has an alternative.

For example,

with Zero cost to pay
cut out soft drink, do not drink icy water. do not drink icy water with your meal. only drink water or warm water, cut down salt, cut down sugar. cut down or avoid white rice, cup noddle. cut out or down junk food to 20%, and eat with 4 hours between meal . eat fruit instead of junk food. do not eat after 9pm. Always eat break feast.

with some extra cost to pay,
avoid or minimize fast food or can food every week , eat old style oat meal, eat vegitables and minimum process food. cut down wine and whatever not neccesary and replace it with whole food.
Avoid fried rice or fried noodle.

With the above one can improve one’s health and mood and mind with very little cost. So, one doesnt have to be well todo , one has alternative even one is less fortunate. with determination one will achieve a good result and better future instead falling into a dead trap of no future. the long term gain is very big.

So, one needs determination and perserverance, but martial art is all about determination and perserverance anyway.

I hope we WCners out there to explain this to our friends or students especially those who are in the less fortunate group to help them to have a good martial art and good life.

The bottom line and the agenda of the Yik Kam transform is aim at that. a good martial artists with a good life.

only last night a WCner old friend ask me why do I coin the term “Wing Chun 1850” I told him, 1850 era , opium war, Chinese government hit bankcruptcy, Chinese society is mealting down, chinese culture is in depression, the people is in hot water, the Wing Chun ancestors ( the Red boat opera actors) started the first military uprising of the chinese opera actor( in the entile Chinese history of thousands of years) . no one knows how to, and how long to get out of that. evidentally we know today it takes six generations or 160 years an a big numbers of war and battles to get to today’s china condition. 160 years is a long time , too long for those living in 1850 to wait.

Those who live in 1850 has to live. they have to live and do the best the can with all what they have. no one knows when next Spring is going to come, no one can imagine how long is 160 years. if they can do it and survive then, there is no reason we can not do much much better in 2010. WCners need to be do a much better job then those who is in 1850. a better living a better art. instead of get stuck in the past with limited art and living within the opium fantasy.

For me, WCK is all about hope and chance. and the Transform is a tool for providing hope and chance. it is not about I fight better then you. or I can beat you. it is I have nuclear technology and have a good life too. when the world is evolving into deep high tech. we now face how to live a balance live or we get into chaos. it is time to look at everything holistically .
