Historically, the crutch evolved from a simple mobility aid used by elder monks into a sophisticated defensive instrument, embodying the Taoist and Buddhist philosophy of transforming humble objects into formidable tools. Spear,' showcases the tactical ingenuity of the Shaolin ancestors who developed specialized methods to overcome the superior reach and speed of the spear using an unusual short weapon. This instructional program is presented by Master Shi Xingmiao, a highly skilled practitioner within the Shaolin Lineage. Master Shi is dedicated to preserving the 'Original Boxing Tree,' ensuring that the technical purity and historical heritage of the crutch lineage are preserved. The crutch represents the Shaolin philosophy of using the weak to overcome the strong, where clever geometry and internal power neutralize brute force. Spear Technical Routine is a sophisticated paired Form & Applications that explores the relationship between linear and circular motion. The spear moves primarily in a straight line, utilizing hacking and stabbing to keep the opponent at a distance. The crutch counters these attacks with its unique L-shaped structure to hatch, hook, sweep, and press.
