Historically, the staff is regarded as the 'Father of All Weapons' in the Shaolin tradition, and the Yin Hand lineage represents a specialized branch of this heritage. 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 this rare lineage are preserved. The Yin Hand Cudgel is celebrated for its 'reverse' logic, which was developed by warrior monks to counter the predictable patterns of standard staff play. This DVD offers a rare opportunity to study an authentic 'Old Frame' routine that emphasizes the deceptive and pragmatic philosophy of the Shaolin order, bridging the gap between ancient temple secrets and modern martial practice. The term 'Yin' refers to the practice of reverse movements and grips, which do not follow normal logical patterns. Master Shi Deyang provides a meticulous breakdown of the forms, showing how the routine utilizes its unique geometry to make feints in one direction while attacking another. A defining feature of this Form & Applications is its unpredictability; the opponent can seldom guess the next movement because the techniques often strike from unexpected angles.
