Historically, the system is divided into eighteen distinct routines, each meticulously designed to mirror the unique character and spiritual temperament of the eighteen Arhats (saints) of Buddhist lore. While Routine One embodies a fierce and direct temperament, Routine Two is celebrated for its sophisticated, 'crouching' and deceptive nature. This instructional program is presented by Master Shi Deci, a distinguished authority who serves as the president of the Songshan Shaolin Quan Research Committee in Beijing and a member of the national Shaolin Quan Research Association. Master Shi brings a wealth of scholarly and practical experience to this presentation, ensuring that the historical heritage and technical purity of the Arhat lineage are preserved. This DVD offers a rare opportunity to study a routine that transcends simple combat, serving as a physical manifestation of Buddhist psychological archetypes. The choreography is a masterclass in 'Cohesive Choreography,' where movements alternate between sudden bursts of speed and slow, gathering phases. Master Shi Deci provides a meticulous breakdown of the forms, emphasizing the principle of 'Truth and Falsehood' (Xu Shi). A defining feature of this Form & Applications is its ability to confound an opponent's defense through deceptive entries and unusual angles of attack.
