Historically, the tiger is revered as the 'King of Animals' in Chinese culture, symbolizing raw power, courage, and ferocity. The warrior monks developed this lineage to emulate the biomechanical efficiency and predatory spirit of the tiger, creating a system that is both physically demanding and martially devastating. 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 Tiger lineage are preserved. This DVD offers a rare opportunity to study a routine that represents the 'Mighty and Swift' energy of the Shaolin order, providing a scientific pathway to mastering its core animal-imitation principles. The choreography is a masterclass in 'Cohesive Choreography,' where movements are designed to mimic the tiger leaping from a mountain or howling in the woods. 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 the principle of 'Will leading the Qi,' where the practitioner's intent directs internal energy to the very tips of the claws.
