The Powerful Dragon Lohan & 3 Breathing Circles by Grandmaster Jiang Yu Shan

February 18, 2026 by VAHVA Fitness

Learn the unique dragon lohan posture and movement that also incorporates the lotus palm and 3 breathing circles.

Still today, Shu Jin Gong of Health & Fighting Qigong, how grandmaster Jiang Yu Shan has mastered and perfected it, remains one of the most effective Qigong forms for mobility and rejuvenation.


You see, every form and every technique is only as good as the master behind it. A lot of people can copy the external form, but have almost no depth behind it.


The external form is the easiest part - adding details and depth is what makes it truly effective.


Previously, grandmaster Jiang Yu Shan demonstrated how far you can take this movement of 12 Buddhist Qigong.

What makes these qigong forms stand out is the incredible depth behind them.


The attention to detail is incredible... You are developing different parts of the hands, carefully adjusting the spine and even developing your eyesight and equilibrium.


The same goes for this Dragon Lohan posture and movement. You can find a very similar stance in Yiquan's zhan zhuang where this posture is held for long periods of time (even more than 1 hour!). 


The grandmaster described it as one of the foundational lohan movements. And if you know more about the Gate of Lohan, then you know it used to be the motherfists of ancient Shaolin Temple.


Lohan Men was considered the foundation and fundamentals of Shaolin. Not because they were basic but because they were so important for frame, general ability and skill.

In addition to developing strength, balance, mobility and flexibility, a big part about these forms is about internal rejuvenation and increasing energy.


The amount of energy that was already circulating in grandmaster's hands and limbs in just a few minutes of practice was unprecedented compared to a typical exercise.


If you are an older individual or not very fit, then this is the exact type of training you should be doing. It can build the foundation for you to do anything and experience a far greater quality of life.
