How to practice
Opening, exercise, and closing
The practices share an opening and a closing. Between them lies the exercise I have chosen for each door.
The exercises belong to different series of my school: the Eighteen Lohan Hands, the Eighteen Lohan Arts, the Eighteen Jewels, and the Sinew Metamorphosis. Gathering them here does not make them a single traditional series.
The choice, frequency and repetitions of each form are learned with the instructor. The narrative order of the doors does not prescribe the same practice for everyone, nor does it require all thirteen exercises in one session.
