Historically, the broadsword was the primary weapon of the temple's protectors, valued for its robust chopping power and reliable defensive capabilities. This instructional program is presented by Master Shi Deyang, a 31st-generation successor of Shaolin Kung Fu and a world-renowned authority on the temple's traditional arts. Master Shi is a primary guardian of the 'Original Boxing Tree,' dedicated to preserving the technical purity and historical heritage of the lineage. The 'Five Tiger' lineage is celebrated for its 'Mighty and Swift' energy and its focus on 'Body-Weapon Integration.' This DVD offers a rare opportunity to study the authentic 'Old Frame' broadsword routine under the guidance of a true master, ensuring that the art's combat logic and internal principles are maintained for future generations. The choreography is a fluid structure that emphasizes the seamless transition between aggressive strikes and impenetrable defensive covers. Master Shi Deyang provides a meticulous breakdown of the forms, highlighting the 'swift and fierce' nature of the style. A defining feature of this Form & Applications is that 'every posture is hard to defend and every form has profound meaning.' The routine is designed for practical combat, focusing on directness and efficiency. Each movement is explained with its specific Combat Application, providing the student with a deep understanding of the tactical logic that has made this style a favorite among Shaolin's elite warriors.
