from the book: Jin Jing Zhong. Authentic Shaolin
Heritage: Training Methods of 72 Arts of Shaolin. ISBN:

JIE DI GONG is
designed to give hardness to the outer parameters of the
body and rear the force YANG in the body, it also allows
to consolidate the energy QI inside a human body. The
method of learning this art entails great difficulties.
It will be very hard for the trainee at initial stages,
the probability for the internal organs to be damaged is
very high and it is hardly to avoid damages. When
learning the skill, one must not proceed quickly from
one stage to another.
Those who learn the
JIE DI GONG skill must acquire the so-called Shaolin
technique of “Eighteen somersaults” (DI SHIBA GUN) and
the technique of falling on the ground (DI TANG GONG FU)
to perfection. Besides the above mentioned, the trainees
must also acquire other Shaolin methods of falls and
jumps, for instance, such as the somersault JIAN HU JI
SHI . Those methods can be grouped into: forward
somersaults, backward somersaults, leftward somersaults,
rightward somersaults, and others. Among them are “arrow
somersault” (JIAN PAN), “fall on the back” (BEI DIE),
“running jump and somersault” (ZHI DIE), “fall with the
face up” (YANG DIE), “fall prone” (FU DIE) and other
methods...
<...>
...At first
those exercises will be done relatively slowly and they
can hurt. The trainee will do somersaults deftly and
swiftly over time and he will be able to acquire the
skill of “eighteen somersaults” at an eyewink. Besides
“Eighteen somersaults”, SHAOLIN JIE DI GONG includes 64
other kinds. If you earnestly learn the above techniques
from the start, the way to success will not be easy.
Those who started to acquire somersaults since early
childhood and made great efforts to reach perfection in
that skill spent a lot of time to learn and master
SHAOLIN JIE DI GONG. Great masters who have mastered
SHAOLIN JIE DI GONG to perfection can do uncountable
number of somersaults rightward and leftward, forward
and backward, standing up and falling again and again,
that’s why their QI becomes fresher with every day.
Those exercises result in skin, bones, and muscles to
become stronger.
