少林看家拳是宋代福居禪師為防止有些寺僧學藝不精，出寺後有辱少林聲譽，便召集寺內武僧高手研究提煉了少林武術的精華招式，傳授給26名武僧，設13道關卡，每道關卡由兩名武僧把守，規定任何僧俗弟子想出山，必須打敗這守關武僧，方可出師下山，否則將受跪香的懲罰，並苦苦修練。這守關的招式漸漸形成了套路——少林十三路看家拳。
1906年少林弟子貞方把一份少林看家拳譜帶回山東故鄉，在1936年把該套路拳譜傳給了少林寺第二十九世著名武僧貞秋的弟子素法，素法研究五十餘年，1986年又傳給了關門弟子耿軍。
Brief Introduction to the Routine Special Boxing（one routine）
Shaolin special boxing is an essential routine, originated to prevent the monk of the temple who didn't learn the skill well and disgraced the Shaolin's prestige after they exited the temple by the Buddhist monk Fuju at Song Dynasty. He called together the proficient Wushu monks in the temple to study and abstract the essential postures of the Shaolin Wushu, and taught it to 26 Wushu monks, then set 13 toll-gates with each toll-gates guarded by two Wushu monks, and stipulated that any monk or common disciple who wanted to go out from the mountain must beat the monks who guarded the toll－gates at first, otherwise, he must accept the punishment of joss sticks kneeling and make more efforts to learn skills. These postures which were used for guarding the toll-gates gradually formed a Taolu——The Shaolin Special Boxing of 13 routines.
In 1906, Zhenfang, one Shaolin disciple, carried a copy of the book of the Shaolin Special Boxing back to his hometown Shandong Province and passed it to Sufa who is the disciple of the 29th generation notable Wushu monk Zhenqiu of the Shaolin Temple in 1936. Sufa studied it for more than 50 years, and passed it to his last disciple Geng Jun.
