Historically, the Dragon Springs Sword was celebrated not just for its functional combat utility but as a symbol of the practitioner's internal refinement and spiritual clarity. 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,' ensuring that the technical purity and cultural significance of this unique lineage are preserved. The Dragon Springs lineage emphasizes a style that is bold, unconstrained, and free of superficial decoration, reflecting the direct and pragmatic philosophy of the Shaolin order. This DVD offers a rare opportunity to study an authentic 'Old Frame' sword routine that has been passed down through generations of warrior monks. The choreography is a Fluid Structure that avoids specious postures in favor of practical efficiency. Master Shi Deyang provides a meticulous breakdown of the forms, emphasizing the principle of 'Sword like a Flying Phoenix' (Jian Ru Fei Feng). This aesthetic is achieved through a combination of expansive reaches and sudden, sharp transitions.
