27-Minute Internal Shaolin Practice | Shaolin Temple Europe | Gulun Kung Fu

Shifu Wu Nanfang, Ben Lucas and retreat participants practise together on the final day of our week-long retreat at Shaolin Temple Europe. The sequence brings together the foundations of Gulun Kung Fu: standing meditation, Dantian breathing and internal coiling, followed by Ba Duan Jin (八段锦, Bā Duàn Jǐn), the Eight Pieces of Brocade. Thank you to Shaolin Temple Europe for hosting us, and to everyone who joined the retreat. We look forward to returning and developing a lasting relationship through shared practice.
