Early life

Laurent Buson was born in Paris, France. He started martial arts and gymnastic. When he was a teenager he saw a demonstration by the Shaolin monks. After the show he spoke to the head monk who told him that Westerners could not endure the intensity of their training, but this only motivated Lohan to practice harder. Several years later, he entered mainland China and traveled to the Shaolin Monastery.

In 2007 he competed at the 5th Hong Kong Wushu International Championship, obtaining 2nd place in Straightsword (Jianshu) and 4th place in Long Fist (Changquan).
