Historically, the falchion is revered as the 'Chief of All Weapons' and the 'Commander of the Eighteen Arms,' symbolizing supreme martial authority and battlefield prowess. This instructional program is presented by Master Qin Heping, a distinguished authority on Shaolin Weaponry. Master Qin brings decades of scholarly and practical experience to this presentation, ensuring that the historical heritage and technical purity of the 'Original Boxing Tree' are preserved. The falchion lineage within Shaolin is characterized by its 'Mighty and Swift' energy and its focus on Body-Weapon Integration. This DVD offers a rare opportunity to study a routine that was designed to end engagements quickly on the chaotic battlefields of ancient China, providing a scientific pathway to mastering the most difficult weapon in the Shaolin repertoire. The choreography is a masterclass in Cohesive Choreography, where movements are designed to utilize the leverage provided by the long handle and the weight of the massive blade. Master Qin Heping provides a meticulous breakdown of the core methods: Pi (Chop), Liao (Uppercut), Zhan (Cleave), Mo (Slice), and Ya (Press). A defining feature of this Form & Applications is the integration of 'Entwining' maneuvers around the waist and neck, which allow the practitioner to maintain the weapon's momentum while transitioning between strikes.
