Thank you for your kind words. I've look at your website and the webpage for the 18 Jewel and I found you've done an excellent job.
I do not know what the Chinese characters for "The Eighteen Jewels of Shaolin Wahnam Chi Kung" are exactly but I guess they would be: "少林華南十八寶氣功". Or, perhaps Mark might know what the official name is. We would need to get Sifu's confirmation on the correct characters.
As soon as we get confirmation, we'll be sure to let you know.
With much thanks to Sifu for his help and approval, I present the Chinese names and characters for the "18 Jewels of Shaolin Wahnam Chi Kung."
Please find them below.
Best wishes,
Mike

I guess the Mandarin version is:
Shao Lin Wah Nam Shi Ba Bao Qi Gong
???
I believe that is the correct Mandarin pronunciation for "Poh" or jewel. Technically speaking, "Wah Nam" is the Cantonese pronunciation. In Mandarin, I think it would be "Hua Nan". However, I really do like the idea of being consistent with one singular pronunciation to avoid confusion with the name of our school (i.e. having it written as "Wahnam" regardless of dialect or language).
Best wishes,
Mike

In his article about our school logo Sifu wrote about the mixture of Mandarin and Cantonese language. Shao-Lin is much better known to the public in Mandarin. The names of his master were generally known in Cantonese, so he sticked to Wah and Nam.
I just followed Sifu's decision.
