Shaolin and Ch'an

Calm the mind and strengthen the body. Achieve stillness through movement .... beyond words, thoughts and intellect.

Praying Mantis

Master Shi Guosong demonstrates the imitative boxing of the praying mantis through movements that are whirling and elastic. In Shaolin boxing, one's body is pliant and well balanced. So much so that each movement contains either an attack, defence or both. Constantly changing, the forms are highly unpredictable.
