HISTORICAL CONTEXT & LINEAGE
Shaolin Arhat Boxing, or Luohan Quan, stands as one of the most venerable and historically significant Technical Routines within the Songshan Shaolin Temple tradition. Historically, this routine was regarded as a 'secret transmission' (Mi Chuan), reserved for those who had achieved a high level of internal and external mastery. The term 'Arhat' refers to the enlightened saints of Buddhist lore, and the routine is designed to cultivate both the physical prowess and the spiritual discipline of the warrior monk. This instructional program is presented by Master Zhang Shijie (Buddhist name: Yong Jie), a distinguished 32nd-generation lineage successor of Shaolin Kung Fu. Master Zhang brings a wealth of scholarly and practical experience to this presentation, ensuring that the historical heritage and technical purity of the 'Original Boxing Tree' are preserved. The Arhat lineage is celebrated for its 'Mighty and Swift' energy and its focus on functional martial skill, providing a scientific pathway to mastering the art's internal depth and tactical versatility.
TECHNICAL FORM & APPLICATIONS
The Arhat Boxing Technical Routine is characterized by its rigorous structure, careful arrangement, and clear distinction between motion and stillness. The choreography is a masterclass in 'Cohesive Choreography,' where movements are executed with such speed and power that they appear to be smooth and continuous. Master Zhang Shijie provides a meticulous breakdown of the forms, emphasizing the coordination of the 'Four Pillars': hand forms, stances, technical routines, and skill applications. A defining feature of this Form & Applications is the multi-directional nature of the strikes—punching out upward, to the front, or downward. Each movement is explained with its specific Combat Application, focusing on the ability to transition from a calm, gathering phase to an explosive offensive strike instantaneously, while looking one way and striking another to deceive the opponent.
BIOMECHANICS & FA-JIN (EXPLOSIVE POWER)
From a biomechanical perspective, Shaolin Arhat Boxing is a study in 'Structural Integrity' and the generation of power through Dantian-driven acceleration. The generation of Fa-Jin (Explosive Power) in this style relies on the coordination of the entire body into a single, unified action, where the force is described as being 'driven from the Dantian.' Master Zhang Shijie demonstrates how the 'Internal Root' in the feet provides the platform for the power that is amplified by the waist and expressed through the extremities. The biomechanics focus on 'Neuromuscular Coordination,' requiring the practitioner to synchronize their breath and intent (Yi) with the sudden discharge of energy. This focus on 'Internal Alchemy' involves the regulation of breath to facilitate the 'Bellows' effect of the torso. The routine's emphasis on 'turning the body and swinging the arms' allows for a high-impact power emission that can penetrate an opponent's structure from any angle.
Combat Application & PRACTICAL VALUE
The ultimate goal of Shaolin Arhat Boxing is the development of functional 'Combat Application' skills through the mastery of explosive force and tactical deception. Master Shi Deci illustrates the tactical logic behind the forms, showing how the combination of heavy strikes and direct entries can be used to control the engagement range and dominate the centerline. The tactical focus is on 'using force to subdue the enemy' and exploiting an adversary's structural openings with overwhelming power. The practical value of this training extends beyond self-defense, offering profound benefits for physical resilience, coordination, and mental focus. By mastering these ancient skills, the student achieves a state of 'Agreement in Spirit and Appearance,' where the mind and body act as a single, unified weapon. This DVD is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the practical value and historical depth of traditional Shaolin martial arts.

Martial Arts Background & Biography
Master Shi Deci was an influential martial arts educator and cultural scholar of the Shaolin Temple. As a 31st-generation descendant, he played a foundational role in the systematic preservation and academic documentation of traditional Shaolin Wushu.
Successor of the Chan-Wu Lineage:
Master Shi Deci studied under the renowned Grandmaster Shi Suxi. Throughout his decades of practice, he mastered the comprehensive curriculum of traditional Shaolin forms, weaponry, and internal cultivation techniques. During a period of rapid modernization, he remained a steadfast advocate for the "Unity of Chan (Zen) and Martial Arts," viewing Wushu as a path of spiritual cultivation rather than mere combat. His style was characterized by its unpretentious, functional, and powerful execution.
Documentation of Shaolin Heritage:
Perhaps his greatest contribution was his scholarly work. He led the compilation of the Encyclopedia of Chinese Shaolin Martial Arts and authored numerous manuals on traditional forms. By transforming oral traditions into systematic written records, he ensured the survival of rare techniques and formulas, providing an essential academic foundation for practitioners and researchers worldwide.
Education and Global Exchange:
He founded the Shaolin Monk Disciples Academy, focusing on nurturing martial artists with both technical skill and moral integrity. His pedagogy emphasized that students must study Buddhist philosophy alongside physical training. As a pioneer in international outreach, he traveled extensively to conduct cultural exchanges, presenting an authentic image of Shaolin culture through his modest character and profound technical expertise.
