Nelson Ma – Luohan Gong
Traditional Northern Shaolin NeiGong for martial arts and health.
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.
Is Luohan Gong suitable for beginners?
- Yes. But also for experienced martial and internal arts practitioners lacking a systematic approach to building foundation.
Is this Luohan Gong authentic?
- Yes. Many LHG sets exist. However, authentic LHG trains the body systematically following specific internal principles.
Where does the lineage come from?
- Nelson’s LHG comes from Luo Guangyu vie MK Wong. Luo Guangyu was a well known Praying Mantis (Northern Shaolin) practitioner, and instructor at the Hong Kong Jingwu Academy.
Is Luohan Gong good for martial arts?
- Yes. LHG develops the basic conditioning and full-body power often missing in modern martial art training.
Is Luohan Gong good for meditation?
- Yes. By opening the kua and pelvic bowl, and properly aligning the spine, meditators can go deeper into their sessions.
Is Luohan Gong good for neigong and qigong?
- Yes. The LHG open spine and skeletal structure is an ideal foundation for deep energy work.
