While a kungfu set is mainly used for demonstration in many other schools, in Shaolin Wahnam it serves many useful purposes, such as:
- Learning kungfu techniques
- Ensuring the correctness of forms
- Practicing footwork and body-movement
- Practicing “six harmonies”
- Regulating breathing
- Developing force
- Practicing combat application
- Generating energy flow
- Attaining a focused mind
Basic Shaolin Sets
Golden Bridge and Three-Circle Stance
Stance training is the main method to develop internal force. If one can stand for 5 minutes in Golden Bridge or 15 minutes in Three-Circle Stance, he will have developed some internal force. Shaolin Kungfu is well known for Golden Bridge, while Taijiquan is famous for Three-Circle Stance
Shaolin Chi Kung Eighteen Techniques
The Shaolin Chi Kung Eighteen Techniques as a set was first suggested by Rama Roberto. As we charge very high fees for the wealthy, Rama Roberto sugguested that we should not neglect the poor. Thus we have a set of eighteen chi kung exercises. As an idealist, we could use our set of eighteen exercises at the physical level, as an introduction to Taijiquan, as an introduction to Shaolin Kungfu, as chi kung at the mind level.
Self-Manifested Chi Movement
Self-Manifested Chi Movement is the platimun chi kung in our school to overcome an illness. In the past it was known as entering Zen or entering Tao. In Western terms it is entering a higher level of consciousness.
18 Jewels
Lifting Water
Lifting Water is an amazing method to develop internal force. It is so important that it is placed at the beginning of most sets.
Grasping Sparrow's Tail
Grasping Sparrow's Tail includes all techniques of Taijiquan, namely "peng", "lu", "qi", "an" and "ceng", which correspond in our "Immortal Waves Sleeves", "Double Dragons Plays with Water", "Push Boat According to Correct", "Push Window to Look at Moon" and "Black Bear Sinks Hips".
Abdominal Breathing
Abdominal Breathing is Different from Diaphragm Breathing although they may look quite the same. In Abdominal Breathing, chi, or energy, goes from the nose to the dan tian, or energy field. The dan tian rises, When breathing out, chi goes from the dan tian to the mouth, and the tian tian falls. In Diaphragm Breathing, air goes in and out of the lungs as the lungs are air-tight. The diaphragm pushes up and down, enlarging the lung cavity.
18 Lohan Art
I wondered how the Shaolin masters from the northern Monastery was very powerful. As recent as the 19th and 20th centures, they easily defeated warriors who came to China to test her kungfu. Unlike the Monastery in the south, the masters could train their internal force in their kungfu sets. Then during a preparation for a course, I had a realization. The northern masters practiced the 18 Lohan Art.
Bone Marror Cleansing
Bodhidharma taught Bone Marror Cleansing using Eighteen Lohan Hands and Sinew Metamorphosis. His taught 4 levels, namely skin, fpglesh, bone and bone marrow, and focus on spiritual cultivation. Our Bone Marror Cleansing is on five levels, namely skin, flesh, organs, bone and bone marrow, and we focus on chi kung, kungfu and daily life.
Lohan Asks the Way
“Lohan Asks the Way” is the fundamental set in Shaolin Wahnam where students learn basic hand techniques, body adjustment and footwork. They also learn basic skills like fluidity of movements, breath control and mental focus. In other words, students are introduced to the “six harmonies” right at the start of their kungfu training.

Happy Bird Hopes up Branch
Kicking techniques are very effective in Shaolin Kungfu, but these kicks are purposely inconspicuous. There are some innate weaknesses when applying kicks which a skillful exponent must be aware of and he must also know how to neutralize them if his opponent exploits these weaknesses.

Felling Tree With Roots
Many people are not aware that there are more felling techniques in Shaolin Kungfu than in any other martial arts! Throwing an opponent, as in Judo, is only one of numerous categories of felling an opponent to the ground. There are many felling techniques in Shaolin Kungfu whereby the exponent can fell an opponent without having to hold him.

Yellow Bee Sucks Pollens
Many Taiji practitioners today do not realize that Taijiquan is a martial art. But realizing it as a martial art is one thing, being able to practice it as a martial art is another. Many Taiji practitioners would like to be able to use their art for self-defence but have little idea of how to do so. This set, which is composed of eight Taijiquan combat sequences, helps to overcome this problem.

Shaolin Dragon-Tiger Set
The Dragon and the Tiger are two important forms of Shaolin Kungfu with emphasis on the training of mind and energy respectively. This set is a “pattern-set” (in contrast with a “sequence-set”) as it is made up of individual patterns rather than combat sequences. Exponents need to compose combat sequences from the patterns for effective fighting. In kungfu terminology, pattern-sets are called “mother-sets”, or seed-sets, from which “children-sets” which are sequence-sets are issued.
