May 2025 – Join us for a unique opportunity in New York City with Sifu Kisu, a fifth-generation practitioner of the Northern Shaolin Kung Fu Association (NSKFA).
Sifu Kisu is a fifth-generation member of the Northern Shaolin Kung Fu Association and was tasked with the role of the fighting instructor and consultant for the Avatar franchise. He is known for his extensive knowledge and abilities with various styles of martial arts. Kisu related the four bending arts to actual styles of fighting in real life, in order to give bending in the series authenticity. His extensive work with the series is highlighted in the behind-the-scenes featurettes Creating the Legend and The Essence of Bending.
This event will offer a deep dive into rare Northern Shaolin form, exploring its foundational principles, theories, and practical applications. This prominent style of Chinese martial arts has a limited presence in the eastern United States, making this an especially valuable learning experience.
Our lineage in New York City was previously represented by Grandmaster Johnny So and his students, and we are honored to continue sharing this tradition. The workshop will explore the concept of “owning your space,” encompassing both physical presence and energetic awareness. Participants will be guided through foundational practices in sitting, standing, and stepping, understanding each as a pathway to enhanced awareness and presence. We will also utilize breathwork to cultivate internal energy and deepen the connection between self and space.
