Body conditioning is an essential aspect of all the training at EBM.
Having a strong constitution is essential for anyone interested in the
fighting aspect of martial arts. Most of the conditioning exercises taught
at EBM are from the 108 Lohan exercises as taught by Grand master Kwan Sai
Hung. The Lohan series consists of solo and two person strengthening exercises
that utilize every part of the body. The series is extremely rigorous and effective
for any style of martial art. The 108 Lohan series is a very involved system
in its own right.
