Historically, Shaolin masters distinguished between 'Boxing' (barehanded forms) and 'Gong' (functional power training), emphasizing that 'practicing boxing without internal gong will lead to nothing in the end.' 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 'Ying Kung Fu' lineage are preserved. This system is defined by 'Bitter Work' (Ku Gong), a philosophy of persistent and rigorous training that transforms the human body into a resilient instrument of martial excellence, bridging the gap between external toughness and internal energy. TECHNICAL TRAINING METHODS The Ying Kung Fu Technical Routine is characterized by its focus on both 'Internal and External' cultivation.

The choreography is a Fluid Structure of conditioning exercises that target every part of the body, from the fingertips to the shins.
