Learn the signature Mantis Hook and Grab. Develop integral strength and rhythmic speed. Authentic Shaolin lineage instruction. Essential investment for any lifelong traditional wushu journey. HISTORICAL CONTEXT Shaolin Seven-star Mantis Quan (Qi Xing Tang Lang Quan) is a pinnacle of pictograph boxing, synthesized by the legendary Master Wang Lang during the early Qing Dynasty. Observations of a mantis capturing a cicada led to the development of the signature cutting, chopping, and twisting arm techniques. Wang Lang later entered the Shaolin Temple for a three-year period, where he integrated these specialized movements into the monks' curriculum. The Plum-blossom Routine (Mei Hua Lu) is a core Technical Routine within this system, representing the intricate footwork and rapid-fire striking patterns that bloom like the petals of a plum blossom. Master Shi Dejun, a 31st-generation Shaolin disciple and 7th Dan expert, demonstrates this Lineage with profound technical rigor. This DVD provides a rare look into the authentic application of Mantis Boxing as passed down through the centuries within the Shaolin Temple walls. BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES The mechanics of the Plum-blossom Routine emphasize the harmony of firmness and softness (Gang Rou Bing Ji). Biomechanically, the practitioner utilizes the Seven Starsthe seven key joints of the body (head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and feet)to generate Explosive Force (Fa-Jin). The routine integrates long-range strikes with short-range captures, requiring the body to coordinate as a single unit. The footwork is agile, allowing for rapid weight shifts and directional changes that mimic the unpredictable nature of the mantis. Key technical methods include Hook, Grab, Twining, and Closing (Gou Lou Chan Feng), which are executed with a compact and clear rhythm. The force is round and integral, meaning every strike is supported by the rotational energy of the waist and the stability of the stance. This ensures that the Explosive Force is delivered with maximum efficiency and minimal wasted energy. TECHNICAL ROUTINE APPLICATIONS In actual combat, the Plum-blossom Routine provides a versatile framework for neutralizing an opponent's defense. The footwork allows the practitioner to move in multiple directions, creating deceptive angles of attack that overwhelm the adversary's guard. Master Shi Dejuns instruction breaks down the complex transitions, ensuring that the practitioner understands how to bridge the gap and apply pressure through a Cohesive Choreography. This DVD is an essential resource for those seeking to master the technical routine of Shaolin Mantis, offering a professional guide to the biomechanical efficiency and tactical intelligence of this ancient art. It builds the foundation for advanced Combat Application and internal power development, ensuring the preservation of Wang Lang's original vision for the modern martial artist. By following this guide, practitioners can achieve a high level of technical proficiency and the mental fortitude necessary for elite-level martial arts performance. The focus on Body-Sword Integration principles ensures that the spirit of the mantis is manifested in every action, making it a vital addition to any practitioner's library. Master Shi Dejun Biographical Profile: Shi Dejun A Contemporary Shaolin Practitioner of Chan, Wushu, and Medicine Shi Dejun, a 31st-generation disciple of the Shaolin Temple, is a distinguished representative and promoter of contemporary Shaolin Chan-Wu-Yi (Zen, Martial Arts, and Medicine) culture. He is not only a master of traditional Shaolin martial arts but also possesses profound expertise in Zen meditation and Shaolin traumatology. He is a steadfast practitioner of the Shaolin philosophy: "entering Zen through martial arts and aiding the world through medicine." Martial Arts Background: Zen Heart and Martial Courage Master Shi Dejun entered Shaolin at a young age, systematically mastering traditional forms (such as Xiao Hong Quan and Lao Hong Quan), combat techniques, and various secret weapons. He emphasizes the "origin" of Wushu, advocating that high-intensity martial training is a vehicle for tempering the mind and character. His expertise in traditional Shaolin Hard Qigong and internal cultivation is reflected in his powerful and robust movements, embodying the fierce spirit of Shaolins direct and forceful combat style. Legacy and Contribution: Global Apostle of Chan-Wushu Culture Master Shi Dejun is dedicated to bringing Shaolin culture to the global stage. He has led numerous delegations abroad for cultural exchange and instruction, promoting the Shaolin Chan-Wu lifestyle worldwide. Beyond physical techniques, he teaches Zen meditation and wellness principles, achieving a true trinity of Martial Arts, Zen, and Medicine. He has chaired the compilation of several works on Shaolin Wushu, making significant contributions to the preservation of Shaolin as an intangible cultural heritage. Artistic Style: Brave, Authentic, and Spiritually Profound His martial performance is vigorous and awe-inspiring, with every movement reflecting the sincerity and determination of a dedicated practitioner. For him, Wushu is more than physical exercise; it is a form of "meditation in motion." Advocating for "compassion as the foundation and martial arts as the protector of virtue," his profound Zen foundation infuses his movements with a transcendental and spiritual aura.
