Monk Shi Dejian and Shaolin Xingyiba

Click picture to view video.

Towards the end of the twentieth century, knowledgeable

observers expressed reservations whether traditional
kung fu could still be found in the Northern Shaolin
temple. What these observers saw when they visited the
temple and its surroundings were modern acrobatic
wushu, and they wondered if genuine Shaolin kung
fu had survived the Cultural Revolution and other
tumultuous events that befell China.

Perhaps in response, the temple showcased monk Shi

Dejian, an adept in the rare art of Xinyiba. Xinyiba is said
to be a distantly related to the more well known art of
Xingyiquan (or Hsing-I Chuan). In this first of a three part
series, Shi Dejian demonstrates breath taking balance
while practicing on a temple rooftop perched on a steep
cliff-face at the Songshan Mountains. Seen also in the
video is Shi Yongxin, the current Abbot of the Northern
Shaolin temple.
