Thanks Jake, I see he has 18 lou hans. Do you know if this is the 18 respiratory attainments that are Practiced within the mantis styles. Some say this is guarded info, but i'm beginning to think that it's a lost tech. within the mantis systems. I've heard it's no longer practical for today. It's too long and or boring. Or it was so seceritive that is has been lost. Drawings are available. But I'm not good enough to figure out actual movements let alone the breathing that goes along with the exercises. Does anyone actualy practise within their schools. That ? is for anyone. THANKS Jake.

I am not sure how "pure" any of it is. I never learned the 18 lohan from Wutan. So I cannot really comment on it.
Be careful believing the "secret's" or "guarded" techniques/sets/theories etc. There are no secrets. Secret is hard work and discipline!
All depends on your intent and goals within the martial arts brother.
Cheers

Emeraldpheonix,
Yep, plumbpub are great folks! I buy books and VCD/DVDs there all the time. The book offered is the NPM version.
You can also find vids on YouTube for the set.

Emeraldphoenix,
The Lor Hon Gung is still practiced and taught.
I have had the opportunity to have studied it as passed down through two different Mantis lines. Both were taught differently. In my opinion, it is very practical especially if one is interested and has the discipline for training the Internal.
Choose the teacher wisely.
Unfortunately there are many self proclaimed Mantis teachers out there that started to teach when they only knew two or three forms at the time. Due to their lack of knowledge many of these teachers supplemented their limited curriculum with material from other styles, books, vids, etc…. Some how along the way they managed to exchange information, ideas and forms with other teachers and practitioners and as a result have been able to muster several handfuls of sets and multiple, yet eclectic, theories which have become the basis of the curriculum that is in use in their current schools. But then, the curriculum often assumes the nature of being a morass due to the inconclusive foundation on which this added material has been piled upon.
Using a book or video for research can be a very useful tool in one’s personal studies.
Teaching from a book or video is a completely different scenario and one that often becomes a tragic experience for some of the students of these charlatans. All too often these so called teachers will prop themselves up in the forums on the Internet as being very knowledgeable teachers or even masters. I am often amused as I watch some of these self proclaimed teachers try to accumulate a high number of posts on forums in the vain hope of increasing their status. Their vanity provides some of us with much entertainment and laughter.
Once again, choose your teacher wisely and then stay with them. Hard work and sincere respect could eventually provide you with opportunities that are not offered to many others.
Best wishes.
Jake, I cant stand when someone tells me the old story of seceret master on seceret mountain teaches seceret to only those that bring seceret charm. Thanks ALL and have Merry holiday

Yeah, once the appeal of the mysticism wears off, and one begins to really question certain aspects of an art, the truth is what settles at the bottom. Some choose to dive into the truth and explore it, often at the expense of their ego. Others choose to leave the truth alone and continue on with certain fantasy realms. To each their own I suppose. I personally am always looking for the truth, and I am leery of those who have "found" it
Happy Chrishanakuanzmis everybody!

First off, I believe the translation 18 respiratory attainments is off because it implies something is resulted of mainly physical effort. The meaning of Qi can't simply be encompassed by respiratory function. I have no time or interest in arguing what Qi is or is not. But I will leave couple of thoughts with you.
Traditionally, Qi and Li (Strength and/or power) are presented as a whole. They are proportional to each other. More Qi equals more strength/power. At the same time Qi is generally understood as the "source" of Li. So there is a "ontological" question involved if you are into the philosophical argument which I am not going to dwell upon here.
So bear in mind that Qigong in martial arts point of view is not practiced as a stand alone exercise but rather a "warm up" for strength training and for form training as well as practical application. In fact, traditional Qigong as a "Gong" in Kung Fu has strength training as its counter part (ie push ups, hand stands, etc). In some sense, Qigong serves as a foundation for Kung Fu practice. This is the reason why a good set of Qigong is often regarded as the most important and even sacred to the system and styles of Kung Fu.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you all.
