Foundation

Foundation is often the missing piece with neigong, qigong, meditation, and martial arts practice. Authentic Luohan training is a detailed and systematic way to open, strengthen, and condition the body for advanced internal practice.

FAQ

  • What are Luohan Gong’s internal principles?

    The movements of LHG open, strengthen, and activate the whole body. LHG focuses on softness and internal body mechanics. Instead of mass muscle groups, LHG develops whole-body elastic power. The moves are deceptively simple yet change the body quickly by properly aligning shoulders, spine, pelvic bowl and hips.

  • Why is basic training and foundation important?

    Many advanced internal arts don’t include foundation training. Arts like Liuhebafa and Tai Chi assume that you already had a basic grounding in martial skill. Or the basics were held for indoor students only.

    Yes. But also for experienced martial and internal arts practitioners lacking a systematic approach to building foundation.
