Historically, these methods were developed as an advanced extension of the 'Ji Ben Gong' (Basic Skills), specifically designed to prepare the warrior monk for the complexities of full Technical Routines and actual combat. 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 historical heritage of these foundational methods are preserved for future generations. The Eighteen Methods serve as the technical bridge within the Shaolin Lineage; without them, the transition from simple movements to fluid combat sequences is nearly impossible. This DVD offers a rare opportunity to study the authentic intermediate building blocks of Shaolin excellence under the guidance of a true master. Master Shi Deyang provides a meticulous breakdown of the eighteen specific methods, emphasizing the integration of Bu Fa (Footwork), Shou Fa (Hand Techniques), and Tui Fa (Leg Methods). The Form & Applications focus on 'Linking Combinations,' where individual movements are strung together into cohesive patterns that mimic the flow of a real engagement. The choreography is a Fluid Structure designed to build a 'Solid and Firm Foundation' for all future boxing sets.
