BRIEF HISTORY
In 527 CE The First Patriarch of the Shaolin Arts the legendary Bodhidharma (a Zen monk whom travelled across from India) arrived at the Shaolin Monastery in China. He observed monks during training and found them weak and often sleepy during meditation. Being the essential path towards enlightenment, he decided to help them better their health, vitality, strength and composure during meditation and taught them the 18 Lohan Hands amongst other more advanced Qigong exercises.

“The crucial difference between Qigong exercise and physical exercise lies not in the outward form (which can be the same for both types of exercise), but in the internal dimensions of energy and mind. If one does not know what these internal dimensions are, it is unlikely that he (or she) has practised Qigong, although he may have performed the outward form for years.”
