HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND LINEAGE
Shaolin Seven-star Mantis Quan (Qi Xing Tang Lang Quan) is a premier system of Chinese martial arts, renowned for its sophisticated combination of speed, agility, and explosive power. The lineage traces back to the early Qing Dynasty master Wang Lang, who synthesized the predatory movements of the mantis with the nimble footwork of the monkey. After refining his art at the Shaolin Temple for three years, it became a cornerstone of the temple's combat curriculum. This technical routine, White Ape Giving Presents to the Mother (Bai Yuan Xiao Mu), is a specialized form demonstrated by Master Shi Dejun, a 31st-generation Shaolin Buddhist disciple and 7th Dan Wushu expert. As a National Top Ten Wushu Coach, Master Shi Dejun ensures that the authentic spirit and technical rigor of the Wang Lang Lineage are preserved in every movement.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES AND FA-JIN
The White Ape Giving Presents to the Mother routine is characterized by its harmony of hardness and softness (Gang Rou Bing Ji). Biomechanically, the form emphasizes the integration of long-range strikes and short-range captures. The signature Mantis techniques—Hook, Grab, Twining, and Closing (Gou Lou Chan Feng)—are executed with a forthright rhythm that demands perfect Body-Fist Integration, a concept mirroring the Body-Sword Integration found in weapon arts. The explosive power (Fa-Jin) is generated through the kinetic chain, starting from the feet, directed by the waist, and expressed through the rapid-fire movements of the arms. This routine requires the practitioner to maintain a compact structure while executing infinite changes in angle and pressure, ensuring that every strike is backed by the full mass of the body.
Combat Application AND MASTERY
In actual combat, this routine teaches the practitioner how to bridge the gap and neutralize an opponent's defense with lightning speed. The movements are coherent and compact, emphasizing the simultaneous action of the hands and feet (Shou Dao Jiao Dao). By practicing this technical routine, students develop the integral strength and rhythmic timing necessary for high-level engagement. Master Shi Dejun’s instruction provides a detailed anatomy of the combat applications, from parrying strikes to executing joint locks. This DVD is an indispensable resource for those seeking to master the intricate mechanics of Shaolin Mantis Boxing, offering a professional, fact-driven guide to one of the most dynamic forms in the Seven-star system. Practitioners will gain a deep understanding of how to apply the mantis's capturing skills in a fluid choreography.

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 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.
