HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND LINEAGE
The Shaolin Yecha Staff (Yecha Gun) is a venerable Technical Routine that holds a special place in the history of the Shaolin Temple. Its fame was cemented after the legendary 'Thirteen Monks with Staff' saved the King of the Tang Dynasty; an event that elevated the Shaolin Staff to a global symbol of martial excellence. Demonstrated by Master Shi Dejun; a 31st-generation Shaolin Buddhist disciple and 7th Dan Wushu expert; this instructional DVD preserves the authentic mechanics of a style that has been used for centuries to defend the temple. The Yecha Staff is particularly prized for its sophisticated blend of Staff and Spear techniques; reflecting the deep technical roots of Shaolin's long-weapon curriculum. It is a rare and precious routine that captures the essence of warrior monk combat.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES AND HYBRID MECHANICS
The core philosophy of the Yecha Staff is summarized by the martial adage: '30% is staff and the other 70% is spear.' Biomechanically; this requires the practitioner to master both the sweeping; robust power of the staff and the precise; penetrating thrusts of the spear. The Technical Routine integrates a variety of skills: sweeping; poking; clouding; supporting; uppercutting; jabbing; and chopping. Power is generated from the core and directed through the long handle; requiring exceptional 'Body-Weapon Integration.' The release of power; or Explosive Force (Fa-Jin); is characterized by its suddenness and precision; particularly in the picking and pointing methods. This training achieves a state of integral strength; where every movement is backed by the rotational energy of the waist and the stability of the legs. The kinetic chain must remain unbroken to facilitate the rapid directional changes required by the form.
Technical Routine AND COMBAT APPLICATION
In Actual Combat; the Yecha Staff provides a versatile framework for neutralizing threats at a distance. The routine's choreography trains the practitioner to transition seamlessly between defensive blocks and offensive thrusts; utilizing the 'Fluid Structure' of the Shaolin lineage. Master Shi Dejun provides a detailed anatomy of the combat applications; explaining the tactical logic behind the 'spear-like' jabbing and the 'staff-like' sweeping. By practicing this routine; students develop the 'Adhere and Follow' (Zhan Nian Lian Sui) principles necessary to sense an opponent's weapon and redirect its momentum. This DVD is an indispensable resource for serious martial artists seeking to master the functional reality of traditional Chinese weaponry. It offers a professional; fact-driven guide to the technical rigor and historical excellence of the Shaolin Staff tradition; providing a clear path to achieving elite martial proficiency and the mental fortitude of a Shaolin warrior.

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 Shaolin’s 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.
