HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Shaolin Linking Hands and Short Hitting, traditionally known as 'Shaolin Body-protecting Quan' (Hu Shen Quan), is a specialized combat system within the Songshan Shaolin lineage. Historically, this system was developed for monks who required a compact and efficient method of self-defense that could be applied in confined spaces or during sudden ambushes. Unlike the more expansive 'Long Fist' styles, Short Hitting (Duan Da) focuses on the devastating efficiency of close-range engagement. Master Shi Dejun, a 31st generation Shaolin disciple and a National Top Ten Coach, presents this routine as a masterclass in 'Applied Tactics'. This system preserves the 'Lineage' of the temple's practical survival arts, emphasizing the transition from defensive posture to overwhelming counter-offensive through a series of interlocking maneuvers.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The 'Linking Hands' (Lian Shou) aspect of this routine refers to the 'Cohesive Choreography' where one technique flows into the next without pause. If the first strike is neutralized, the second and third follow instantly in a 'Ring-like' succession. The Technical Routine is characterized by its 'Fluid Structure' and 'Firm yet Soft' (Gang Rou Xiang Jian) dynamics. It incorporates a wide array of close-quarters strikes, including shoulder goring (Ding), head butting (Zhuang), elbow strikes (Ji), hip checks (Kao), and specialized foot stumbling (Ban). The routine is a rare example of a complete system that perfectly integrates the four pillars of Wushu: Kicking, Hitting, Throwing, and Catching (Ti, Da, Shuai, Na).
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
The biomechanics of Shaolin Short Hitting are centered on 'Body-Fist Integration' (身拳合一) and the use of the body's 'Short Power' (Cun Jin). Power is generated through the 'Six Harmonies', ensuring that every strike is backed by the entire body's mass. The practitioner is taught to use the 'Seven Stars' of the body—head, shoulders, elbows, hands, hips, knees, and feet—as coordinated weapons. This DVD provides deep insights into the 'Fa-Jin' (Explosive Power) required for close-range impact, where the waist and spine act as a whip to deliver force through the joints. The 'Hand-Foot Synchronization' (Shou Jiao Qi Dao) is essential, ensuring that the practitioner maintains a 'Rooted Agility' while closing the distance with an opponent.
COMBAT APPLICATION AND STRATEGY
Strategically, the 'Body-protecting' logic is based on 'Simultaneous Attack and Defense'. The practitioner utilizes 'Adhere and Follow' (Zhan Nian Lian Sui) principles to stick to the opponent, neutralizing their reach while delivering 'Short Hitting' strikes to vital areas. The strategy involves 'Twining and Closing' (Chan Feng) to trap the opponent's limbs before applying a finishing blow. Master Shi Dejun demonstrates the 'Chai Zhao' (dismantling) of the routine, showing how to apply these 'Rare Applied Tactics' in real-world scenarios. This DVD is an essential resource for martial artists seeking to master the 'Profound and Practical' combat heritage of the Shaolin lineage, offering a professional pathway to technical mastery and combative excellence.
