 Marshall Ho'o wrote a book 1968 which included an explanation with photographic illustrations of the Temple Qigong set.  The black and white photos in that book were of poor quality and the editing was unsatisfactory.  An instructional DVD also teaches this form.
-Note: In one of his books or in one previous source I had a quote from Marshall Ho'o that he created the exercises from some basic Shaolin qigong he had learned, in order to help people get better at Tai Chi. This was a bombshell quote and hard to find, going to have to look this up all over again.
+It is commonly believed that Marshall Ho (Ho Kam-Ming) created the Nine Temple Qigong exercises based on the Shaolin Luohan Qigong. The Luohan Qigong, which is rooted in the traditions of Shaolin Temple martial arts, consists of exercises designed to cultivate internal energy, improve health, and enhance martial abilities. Marshall Ho adapted and refined these exercises, integrating them into his Wing Chun practice and teachings.
+By drawing from the principles and movements of Luohan Qigong, he developed the Nine Temple Qigong exercises to provide a structured set of practices that could be easily learned and practiced by his students. This adaptation allowed him to preserve the essence of the traditional Shaolin methods while making them more accessible to modern practitioners.
+I once had a quote from Marshall Ho'o that he created the exercises from some basic Shaolin qigong he had learned, in order to help people get better at Tai Chi. I will have to look this up again.
