LOHAN QIGONG

The ancient warriors invigorating energy exercise art.....

History has it that in the sixth century A.D., Bodhidharma called "Tamo", travelled from
India to China to spread his teachings of Buddhism. He came to the Shaolin Temple, the
birthplace of Wushu (martial art) in China. He noticed, that during his teaching, the monks
often fell asleep because of their poor physical condition. He therefore introduced his
exercises of sinew change, called the "18 Arhat Methods", to improve their health and assist
their meditation. The emphasis was on rhythmic breathing, bending, stretching and dynamic
energy meditation.

At the Shaolin Temple in China's Henan province the 18 bronze warrior (Lohan) statues
have now been openly presented for public display and can be seen on the Academy's Annual
China Tour.

The Academy's "Lohan Set" has been researched and developed to suit our modern lifestyle
by Grandmaster Gary Khor, founder and president of the Australian Academy of Tai Chi.
