Historically, the staff gained worldwide fame after the legendary 'Thirteen Staff Monks' saved the Tang Dynasty emperor, Li Shimin, cementing the staff's status as the 'Father of All Weapons' in Shaolin. This instructional program is presented by Master Shi Deci, a preeminent authority who serves as the president of the Songshan Shaolin Quan Research Association in Beijing and a member of the national Shaolin Quan Research Association. Master Shi brings decades of scholarly and practical experience to this presentation, ensuring that the historical heritage and technical purity of the Qimei lineage are preserved. The staff is celebrated for its 'Mighty and Swift' energy and its status as an indispensable routine for any practitioner seeking to master Shaolin Weaponry. This DVD offers a rare opportunity to study the authentic mechanics that have defined Shaolin staff play for over a millennium. Master Shi Deci provides a meticulous breakdown of the core methods: Tiao (Flick), Ci (Stab), Pi (Chop), Lue (Upper Cut), and Sao (Sweep). A defining feature of this Form & Applications is the principle of 'Spear Stabs a Line, Staff Hits a Large Area' (Qiang Tiao Yi Tiao Xian, Gun Da Yi Da Pian). The choreography is a cohesive sequence that teaches the practitioner how to transition between pinpoint strikes and wide-radius defensive sweeps.
