The chinese fighting technique described inthis book is believed t have developed from a form devised at teh Saholin Temple by the Indian monk Bodhidharma. Called Shih-pa lohan shou (Eighteen Arhat Hands), it was the original Lohan form. Its prupose was to provide monks with exercises that would not only strengthen their bodies and minds, but also arm them with a formidable system of self-defense. The authors present the Lohan techniques of south China (as taught by the Hood Khar Pai) in both the solo- and partner-practice forms.
Intended as a suplement to actual training, this book gives the history of the Shaolin arts and then continues with a detailed explanation of the Lohan form.
Accompanied by almost 30 sketches and over 400 black-and-white photographs, this straightforward introduction to the Lohan system is a must for any serious student of Shaolin techniques.
P'ng Chye Khim, trained in the Shaolin tradition, is head instructor of the Penang Shaolin Athletic Association (Malaysia); he is also a licensed acupuncturist.
Donn F. Draeger gained international renown as an authroity on Asian martial arts whose numerous books continue to be classics in the field.
