Historically, it is regarded as the fundamental exercise for learning all other Shaolin fist routines and is a mandatory requirement for every disciple entering the lineage. This instructional program is presented by Master Shi Deci, a distinguished authority who serves as the president of the Shaolin Quan Research Association of Songshan, Beijing. Master Shi brings a wealth of scholarly and practical experience to this presentation, ensuring that the technical purity and historical heritage of the 'Original Boxing Tree' are preserved. Xiao Hong Quan is celebrated for its compact structure and its ability to generate immense power within a very small space, often described by the proverb 'boxing in the place where a buffalo lies.' This DVD offers a rare opportunity to study the authentic building blocks of Shaolin excellence under the guidance of a master who embodies the art's deep internal logic. The choreography is a Fluid Structure that requires the practitioner to 'move like the wind and stand like a nail.' Master Shi Deci provides a meticulous breakdown of the forms, emphasizing the coordination of the 'Four Pillars': hands, eyes, body, and steps. A defining feature of this Form & Applications is that every single movement has a direct martial purpose—'non-striking is defending.' The routine is practiced entirely along a single straight line, which trains the practitioner in linear acceleration and precise structural alignment. Each posture is analyzed for its defensive and offensive utility, ensuring that the student understands the 'Theory and Method' that underpin the Shaolin order's combat systems. The generation of Fa-Jin (Explosive Power) in this style relies on the coordination of the entire body into a single, unified action.
