Incense Shop Boxing - Southern Shaolin Luohan Fist - Masters of Fujian ep10
In the last full episode of the series, we meet with Master Lin Shan Quan, to learn about the art of Incense Shop Boxing, which is the most popular branch of Luohan Quan practiced in Fuzhou city. There are several different branches of Luohan Quan in Fujian province, all of which claim to be descended from monks who fled the destruction of the Southern Shaolin Temple.
In this series I team up with Jesse Enkamp aka the Karate Nerd to travel to Fujian province, Southeast China. We are here to explore the arts of Southern Shaolin, particularly the arts of White Crane, Five Ancestors and Luohan.

It would be awesome to better understand the concept behind "opening the hip" and "closing the chest/opening the shoulder blades". For the former, he mentioned that there were training methods. Did he show you any of these?

Yes, please!! 🙏
He is -----------WAY MORE better than I expected. His movements seems actually fluid, powerful, and-as rare as it gets nowadays-looks like he actually knows how to put up a fight, not just doing forms mindlessly. He moves like a 20 year old, impressive.
this guy is legit !!! he is blazing fast and he clearly understands every move he does, not just the form in a show ! look how relax his movement is and how he changing angle, changing height, his hands also circle a lot to trap/lock/block... he also a mastered calligraphy which old school kungfu usually emphasizes !!! a hidden real grand master right there. You guys need to go back and learn as much from him as possible, a real kungfu grand master like this is so rare in a sea of modern so-called "masters" today !!!
Love the channel. Looks like Master Lin has been eagerly waiting years for people to come along so he can he share his stuff with them.
Love this guy’s enthusiasm. Sharing is one of the greatest gifts to mankind. Such a likable fellow too. Gratitude!

This old man is inspiring. To be able to move like this at his age...
i hope you can feature this sifu again, his movements are seamless
These arts need to be preserved complete on videos. So they can not be lost to Time !
This Uncle is so quick and has so much energy! I'm entertained just watching him even with no explanation!
Not only this sifu has high level of conditioning and understanding of internal and external movements he also revealed alot secret theories, concepts and applications which are a big no go only teach to insiders in asian martial arts, a rare gem nowaday.
This is GOLD for Martial Arts, thank you so much!
Excellent southern boxing...fast, powerful, changeable, filled with a huge variety of power generation schemes. What a pleasure it would be to study with someone of this caliber.
❤️❤️❤️. That calligraphy!!!! Mind blowing. Thanks 🙏

You guys seemed nervous due to his unpredictability! Haha. Fun but scary
Simple, clean, and direct .... very organic feel about it. Nice. Thanks for posting it up.
I hope this master was able to pass down the art to a point where, in the event he succumbs to death, the art he embraced so much will live on.
Impressive figure living in the streets, living his art...thank you!
Looks incredibly practical. Seen practical footwork, flowing strikes (bit fancy but still looks really practical), good balance and speed, slips and dodges, concepts of countering grappling.

Flowing strikes can be immensely powerful. Just ask the Uechi-Ryu Karate people whose main three forms comprise the original Pangai Noon that so greatly resembles this Incense Shop Boxing!
The first thing many noticed is his level of energy and excitement just talking about his Kung Fu. What's also interesting a lot of his principles is what I hear from my Sifu in respect to basic southern Kung Fu. He new just from looking at the big westerner he would have to account for the long limbs and size.
Southern Luohan Quan(Incense shop boxing in particular) definitely needs more coverage.
Felt better just watching him!
A spiritual successor of the southern Shaolin Kung-Fu. That's amazing.
First off thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this wonderful journey your on through southern China and finding it’s hidden Kung Fu masters. I absolutely love all of the videos that you share regarding these top level masters and seeing these amazing styles I would have never had the opportunity to see and experience without your generous and passionate KZread channel. I was really interested in the method the teacher was describing regarding how to open up the shoulder blades as well as the kua. I have seen a number of other high level masters put a lot of emphasis on opening the shoulder blades using specialized training of late. Unlike opening and closing the Kua which I have been familiar with for many years, having open and loose shoulder blades to that extent is quite new to me. When the teacher kept mentioning the power coming through the rounded back I was really hoping you or your traveling buddies would have asked if that particular movement or energy is the same as in TongBei which I know also uses very similar mechanics. I believe Piqua also has that in common. Anyway keep up the great work, and I look forward to your next videos. I wish you continued success in your training, and pray that you and your fellow travelers stay healthy throughout your journey.

Glad you’re enjoying and finding value from them! It was interesting, because he was rounding his back a lot more than Tongbei does. We have some rounding of the back in Mantis, but it is transitional and to a much more subtle degree than this.... hence why he said I was not doing it enough.
This GM is a triple crown right there. Classical masters know martials arts, healing arts, and calligraphy.
Chain smoking is essential to good form.

He seems to "fill the space" just like incense would, and even has some wispy movements. Sometimes incense's power is in it's subtlety. Very interesting!
I love your chanel, it's a treasure. Imagine there would have been cameras 200 years ago.
Fantastic video! Very insightful. This guy really seems "old school" and I love it :)
Master Lin reminds me of an old master of Southern Dragon style I saw perform in NYC’s Chinatown decades ago. He had similar explosive power with the use of bowing the thoracic spine for power generation except Southern Dragon style was more compact, not as expansive as Incense boxing. Master Lin’s comments on expanding the body and use of kwa is reminiscent of the baguaquan I have learned, supposedly derived from luohanquan. Great video!

Wow! i recognize also some lessons Yoshimi Inoue taught in Karate. Thank you for this great video and your work!
A Kung fu master who knows how to heal is definitely old school, what he is doing takes years and years of training, no bs
Fluid movement with some internal relaxed hand strokes. Very impressive
This really made me smile! Thanks for all the good work
This sifu is a world heritage treasure.
His calligraphy was not the prettiest, but my, ... what an honour !
This was a bit dangerous at first :) But this man was really passionate to share his skills.

Hello Guys...thank you for this video. Not only this but all the other videos relating to Karate and some other fighting brunching oit from YOUR CHANNEL. I am not formally train in any form of fighting and defance style. I love all your videos equally. Thanks to Jake also.
Wouaw! Ce maître est génial! Quelle chance de le rencontrer!
Fantastic! 💚
Super Interesting video, what a passionate master, the neck adjustment was interesting too, I thought his calligraphy was great, very similar to his martial arts frenetic, but when he was adjusting your neck you could see his focus, control and intensity in a new way
If I'm remembering correctly that type of folding he's describing is covered in the YiJinJIng.
Wow thanks for the share.. Dude is like Nytro-...Reminds me of what they said Bruce was like as a kid...Never sits still... So cool...

A lot these southern styles with the standing still fighting and close quarter combat with mostly upper body movements were developed from fighting whilst standing on small boats up and down the rivers and coastlines, if you want to unlock your hips like he was suggesting without the ten years of training get ta large inflatable ball, big enough to stand on, put it in some water and try standing on it.
nice

Mmmm, hard to say exactly. This style is a derivative of Luohan Quan, but there are several derivatives. I’d say its more likely the Luohan mentioned in the Bubishi is the ancestor of Incense Shop. I uploaded videos of the styles 4 main forms to my second channel Monkey Offers Peach, so you can take a look and see if you think there’s much crossover with Karate
Are there any other southern Luohan styles except Incense shop boxing in Fujian that you had a chance to encounter with?I can't find info on other Southern Luohan styles on the net.

You can really see the moves that got passed down to karate. All kung fu share the same rules. Style is just something dull or dangerous done in a refreshing way.

Master Lin's teachers? Lineage? What is his profession? Nei gong in the system? Or hard gong like shaolin styles in the beginning years? Does master Lin u understand neither gong as a propelling expulsion energy through his meridians that would hurt from a 3..4 cm distance,or more like an enveloping strengthening air-like elements t or force that binds his body prospectively on impact?
Could you guys make subtitles for the stuff the sifu is saying?
