Huang Han Xun. LUOHAN GONG. Shaolin Internal Training Set. /e-Book, pdf, 4.99 MB, 82 pp./
The history of the creation of this book goes back to Master Fan
Xu Dong (life time: 1841 – 1925, according to another data - 1936). At the turn the 19-th and 20-th century Fan Xu Dong
several times visited Shaolin Temple where he studied heritage of the monastery. That’s what Master Jon Funk writes
about it: “Fan made several trips to the Shaolin temple and spent time there researching with the monks. From these
trips to the Shaolin temple, as well as his other work with the Seven Star Praying Mantis system, he wrote five volumes titled
"The Shaolin Authentic". These handwritten manuals contained concepts on fighting skills, medical information and historical
aspects of kung fu. Contained in one of these five volumes is the eighteen exercises of the LUOHAN GONG complete with replicas
of the original drawings of the Shaolin monks demonstrating the postures of each exercise.” These five books were later
hand copied in Hong Kong by shifu Huang Han Xun. The original illustrations and calligraphy on LUOHAN GONG by shifu Fan Xu
Dong was reproduced in shifu Huang's book in which he added photographs to depict the movements. Click picture (top left)

Jin Yi Ming. LIAN GONG MI JUE: Secret Methods of Acquiring External and Internal Mastery. Shanghai,
1930 /e-Book in Adobe pdf, 7.78 MB, 160 pp./
An old proverb says: “If you exercise only the technique (style) but ignore special training you will
be a nobody till your old days.” “Special training” implies particular exercises for developing both WAI
ZHUANG – “the External Power” and NEI ZHUANG – “the Internal Power”. Those exercises (training
procedures) are collected under a common title – LIAN GONG, literally “Exercising to Acquire Mastery”. In
his preface the author writes: “...It is not an idle talk that “Strength can not overcome the Pugilistic Art (Quan
Shu), the Pugilistic Art can not overcome Internal Mastery (Gong Fu)”. The people think that it is enough to exercise
the Pugilistic Art (Quan Shu) but few know that the Pugilistic Art can not withstand the Internal Mastery (Gong Fu) as the
Pugilistic Art is sprouts of Gong Fu and Gong Fu itself is the base and root of the Pugilistic Art. There are people who exercise
only Gong Fu and do not exercise Quan Shu. But nobody heard that Quan Shu can be exercised without exercising Gong Fu. Such
“mastery” is like flying fluff or floating duckweed - too weak base. It is necessary to exercise both Gong Fu
and Quan Shu, only in that case there will be a strong base and excellent Mastery.” The first part of the book presents
exercises which belong to the section “External exercising” (WAI GONG) aimed at the development of “the
External Power” (WAI ZHUANG). It includes exercises for the development of “hardness” (YING GONG), “lightness”
(QING GONG) and “flexibility” (ROU GONG). The second part of the book deals with the development of “the
Internal Power” (NEI ZHUANG): the description of massage according to the method NEI ZHUANG XING GONG, the method “Rinsing
marrow” XI SUI, some formulae of drugs to increase the level of the “internal power” are given. Undoubtedly,
the book will be useful for serious practitioners of traditional styles of Chinese Martial Arts who are eager to reach genuine
mastery. Click picture for Trial Download or to buy!
