Historically, this lineage was meticulously refined by Shaolin monks who synthesized the foundational power of Hong Quan with the unpredictable and agile characteristics of Monkey Boxing. This specific routine is a testament to the legacy of the late Grandmaster Suxi, whose demonstration and transmission served as the basis for this instructional program. Presented by Master Shi Deyang, a 31st-generation successor of Shaolin Kung Fu, this DVD offers an authentic link to the 'Original Boxing Tree.' Master Shi is a world-renowned authority on traditional Wushu, dedicated to preserving the technical purity and historical heritage of the temple's esoteric arts. Known as 'Arms-through Monkey Boxing,' this style is celebrated for its vivid, spiffy movements and its ability to cultivate a refined internal spirit through rigorous physical training. The choreography is a fluid structure that emphasizes the use of the 'Monkey-Paw' hand shape for grasping, springing, and striking. Master Shi Deyang provides a detailed breakdown of the forms, highlighting the frequent use of body-flipping and body-shrinking (Suo Shen) maneuvers that allow the practitioner to evade attacks and counter-strike instantaneously. Each Form & Applications in this routine is a study in tactical agility, designed to facilitate 'fast attacking and quick withdrawal.' The routine is particularly effective for developing the physical quality of younger practitioners, as it requires a high degree of flexibility and neuro-muscular coordination. Master Shi’s instruction ensures that the practitioner understands the martial intent behind every movement, transforming the vivid forms into functional and effective fighting tools.
