HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Longmen Mian Quan, historically known as Dragon Gate Cotton Fist, is a profound internal martial art belonging to the Quanzhen Longmen Sect of Taoism. This instructional volume presents the Small 99 (Xiao Jiu Jiu) routine, a refined technical routine that distills the essence of the system into a compact yet deep practice. Master Li Fajun, the 29th-generation lineage holder and head of the Longmen school, demonstrates this form with the authority of a lifelong practitioner. Historically, Mian Quan was prized for its ability to generate massive Internal Power through seemingly effortless, soft movements. The Small 99 routine, consisting of nine groups and twenty-six movements, serves as a vital bridge for practitioners to master the fluid and continuous nature of the Longmen tradition.
TECHNICAL PHILOSOPHY
The technical philosophy of Longmen Mian Quan is centered on the concept of Softness as the Primary, where the body moves like flowing water or drifting flowers. The routine is characterized by its simple and ancient movements, which are linked like rings to ensure a continuous flow of energy. Master Li Fajun explains that the intent (Yi) must guide the vital energy (Qi) through the body's kinetic pathways, achieving a state of internal and external harmony. The philosophy emphasizes Seeking Stillness in Motion, ensuring that the practitioner remains calm and centered even during dynamic shifts. This neigong-based approach builds a robust foundation for both health preservation and combat efficacy, allowing for the spontaneous manifestation of power.
BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS
Biomechanically, the Small 99 routine is a masterclass in structural alignment and fascial elasticity. Master Li demonstrates how the power is initiated in the feet, which move as if treading on cotton or snow, and is amplified through the rotation of the waist and Dantian. The movements utilize the Whole-Body Kinetic Chain, ensuring that every gesture is supported by the entire physique. The routine focuses on the Opening and Closing of the joints, which allows for the accumulation and release of internal pressure without localized tension. This process enhances joint mobility and promotes deep circulation, creating a state of Total Integration where the body moves as a single, unified unit.
PRACTICE AND APPLICATION
This DVD provides a meticulous breakdown of the Small 99 technical routine. Master Li Fajun explains the internal requirements for each movement, focusing on the coordination of breath with the fluid transitions. The instruction is designed to help practitioners achieve a state of Relaxed, Extended, Round, and Agile movement. Regular practice of this routine helps to regulate the nervous system, improve balance, and cultivate a robust internal foundation. By following the authoritative guidance of Master Li, students can master the essential mechanics of Longmen Mian Quan, achieving a state of physical robustness and internal harmony through a practical and efficient training methodology.

Master Li Fajun
Biographical Profile: Li Fajun
Taoist Master of Wudang and Guardian of Internal Alchemy Martial Arts
Li Fajun is a prominent Taoist priest and a highly respected master of the Wudang martial arts tradition. Deeply rooted in the Taoist temples of the Wudang Mountains, he represents the authentic integration of "Dao" (the Way) and "Wu" (the Martial), focusing on the cultivation of internal energy and the preservation of ancient Taoist health-preserving techniques.
Martial Arts Background: Taoist Lineage and Internal Mastery
Master Li’s martial journey is inseparable from his Taoist faith. He was trained within the strict monastic traditions of Wudang, mastering the Wudang Xuanwu and Sanfeng lineages. His expertise encompasses Wudang Taijiquan, the Fuchen (Taoist Whisk), and the Wudang Sword, all of which are practiced not merely as combat arts but as forms of moving meditation and internal alchemy (Neidan). His background emphasizes the principle of "overcoming hardness with softness" and the synchronization of breath with cosmic energy.
Legacy and Contribution: Promoting the Way of Wudang
As a senior figure in the Wudang Taoist martial arts community, Master Li has played a vital role in sharing these once-secretive practices with the public. He has participated in numerous cultural exchanges, demonstrating the unique aesthetic and philosophical depth of Taoist kung fu. His contribution lies in his ability to articulate the relationship between Taoist philosophy (such as Yin-Yang and the Five Elements) and physical movement, making Wudang martial arts a vehicle for spiritual and physical well-being.
Artistic Style: Ethereal Fluidity and Internal Power
His style is characterized by an ethereal, cloud-like fluidity and a profound sense of internal calm. Li Fajun’s movements are circular, continuous, and driven by intent rather than muscular tension. In his practice, every strike and transition reflects the Taoist ideal of naturalness (Ziran). He is particularly known for his mastery of Internal Power (Neigong), where the strength is hidden deep within the softness of the form, manifesting only at the moment of impact with effortless precision.
