Yan Shou Gong
The Art of Longevity
Authentic Lineage and History - Spanning multiple generations of advanced practitioners
Derived from 2 very rare forms of Neigong from Southern Shaolin. Traditionally, only transmitted to a very select few monks, this is the first time general public gains access
WUJI QUAN - Emphasizing YIN / SOFT aspects
WUJI has 36 sets of movements with each sub-set consisting of more than 10 movements
Of which only about 9 complete forms were passed on
YSG is NOT a simplified version of WJ+ LHRY, it is a distilled version combining the best moves from both arts.
Making for a far more approachable and time efficient means of practice without compromising the depth or the internal mechanisms and skills within
LUOHAN RUYI - Emphasizing YANG / HARD aspects
LUOHAN RUYI has 108 sets of movements with each sub-set consisting of more than 20 movements
Of which only 6 of the complete forms are known
Southern Shaolin Abbot Yit Chaan 【一禅禅师】
Great Grandmaster Chee Kim Thong 【徐⾦棟】
Grandmaster Yap Qing Hai 【叶清海】
GM Yap Boh Heong (Current Lineage Holder)
Devised a new methodology for teaching Internal Martial Arts using the concept of INTERNALS STRINGS
Of which modern science has only just begun to touch upon and corroborated as related to the FASCIA network of the human body
Over a century's worth of martial arts experience at the highest level between the two Grandmasters
Modern lifestyles and short attention spans is incompatible with mastering any type of sophisticated arts such as WUJI & LUOHAN RUYI
Not wanting the beneficial aspects these arts to be lost GM Yap approached GM Chee in order to create a more approachable and condensed version of the 2 Southern Shaolin Neigongs
A new pedagogy in teaching internals that can dramatically shorten the time needed for acquiring certain skills. While there will always be variances according to the individual, by and large the results has shown to be successfully repeatable across a number of students
Partner Pressure Testing
YSG has a plethora of partner testing drills built into each movement
Plays an important role in learning how the STRINGS work and minimizes imagining vs the actual feeling
Using the actual feeling, start to let the Inside move the Outside
Each movement is proven and tested with centuries' worth of knowledge hidden within
There are layers upon layers upon layers, the same move is trained differently according to the skill level & objective of the practitioner
No need to reinvent the wheel completely, as your understanding of the art deepens, so too does your ability to express it
Practicing the form correctly, the Outside moves the Insides
Using the concepts of INTERNAL STRINGS
Practitioner becomes informed on what to look for and feel from an early stage
Sidestepping the error of reinforcing empty movements that become difficult to correct down the line
Many internal skills are subtle and require the skill of 'TING' listening & awareness
With consistent practice, the practitioner's inner teacher awakens
