I have googled myself to no end on trying to find out what "luohan" means. The 13 and 18 I can gather but the luohan evades me. Anybody?

Maybe this?

Luo Han is derived from an ancient Buddhist Sanskrit term, “Arahant” which was earlier derived from “Arihan” (those who subdue or attain victory over foes).

Thanks for the information

I realy appreciate the information. The link was outstanding! I just need to assimilate it now :D

Trying to determine if I want to learn and practice the 13 lou han. I know Jesse has a dvd and I can certainly believe it would be every bit as good as the others he has. I do 8 brocades and taiji ruler but am wondering about adding to or replacing one in the future. Only so much time to do all I need to.

I found the page on Wikipedia also very interesting:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luohan_(martial_arts)

Unfortunately, phpBB does not seem to like the parenthesis. Just copy and paste the link in your browser and that should be ok.

Say Alain, there was nothing in your post/reply. Did you have something to add or help me with? Vic
