HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Shaolin Linking Hands and Short Hitting (Lian Shou Duan Da) is a prestigious and essential technical routine within the 'Short Hitting' category of the Songshan Shaolin Temple. Historically, this system was codified during the early Song Dynasty by Abbot Monk Fuju. In his quest to develop the ultimate Shaolin combat system, Fuju spent three years studying and exercising with 18 of the most distinguished martial masters of the era. Linking Hands and Short Hitting is one of the primary results of this historical synthesis. Master Gao Dejiang presents this 2-DVD set to preserve the authentic mechanics of a style that prioritizes close-quarters efficiency and continuous tactical pressure.
BIOMECHANICS OF SHORT HITTING
The biomechanics of this style are characterized by a 'Small Frame' (Xiao Jia) and 'Continuous Technique.' Unlike long-range boxing, Short Hitting focuses on the 'Leaning Body to Wrestle' principle, utilizing the practitioner's entire mass to overwhelm the opponent at close range. Power generation relies on rapid-fire Fa-Jin (Explosive Power) delivered through short, high-torque rotations of the waist and shoulders. The routine emphasizes the coordination of the 'Six Harmonies,' ensuring that every block, press, and strike is backed by a stable, grounded foundation. Master Gao demonstrates how the 'Posture is Tight,' allowing the practitioner to remain protected while delivering a relentless stream of attacks.
TECHNICAL ROUTINE AND Grappling
The technical routine consists of 4 sections and 36 movements, featuring 9 distinct attacking and defending skills in each section. The curriculum covers a comprehensive array of maneuvers, including cutting off, blocking, pressing, leaning, kicking, holding, hooking, hanging, stumbling, and sweeping. A unique feature of this style is the integration of 'Bare Hand Grappling' (Qin Na) with striking, teaching the practitioner how to 'stretch the hand to buckle' and seize the opponent's joints. The rhythm of the routine is 'Quick and Swift,' reflecting the chaotic reality of actual combat where the ability to transition between different techniques is paramount.
COMBAT PHILOSOPHY AND LEGACY
Master Gao Dejiang's instruction is marked by technical precision and a deep adherence to traditional principles. He emphasizes that Linking Hands and Short Hitting is not merely a physical exercise but a vehicle for developing 'Martial Intelligence.' The routine follows the rules of 'Advance and Retreat' and 'Hard and Soft,' teaching the practitioner how to adapt to the actual conditions of a fight. This 2-DVD set provides a meticulous breakdown of the 36 movements, offering insights into the tactical objectives of each exchange. For any serious student of Shaolin Kung Fu, this resource is an essential technical manual for mastering the art of close-quarters combat and the profound martial wisdom of the Songshan legacy.
