Life with a sword in my hands.

NORTHERN SHAOLIN RETREAT 2026

This Is Not Performance.

This Is Transmission.

Train for two immersive days with Sifu Kisu, 5th Generation Northern Shaolin disciple in the lineage of Grandmaster Ku Yu Cheong.

This is a rare opportunity to experience the art as it was meant to be passed on not through videos, but through direct instruction, correction, and hands-on transmission.

You’ll explore traditional forms, combat principles, partner drills, weapons, applications, body mechanics, internal power development, and the philosophy that has guided generations of practitioners.

* Traditional Northern Shaolin

* Rare lineage instruction

* Partner applications

* Weapons fundamentals

* Body mechanics & power generation

* Qigong & conditioning

* Open to dedicated practitioners of all styles

“You have to see it. You have to hear it. You have to feel it. That is how Kung Fu is transmitted.”

~ Sifu Kisu

Part II is official.

Dragon Walking Swordsmanship — Part II returns October 11th & 12th.

For everyone who joined us for Part I, thank you. That first seminar laid the foundation. Part II is where the work deepens — refinement, continuity, correction, and the next stage of the form.

Also dropping: The Part I seminar video will be available for purchase, along with tickets for Part II, on Friday, July 10th.

This is a year-long path. Four seminars. One form. Real study, real repetition, real transmission.

If you’ve been waiting to continue, this is your next step.

Dragon Walking Swordsmanship — Part II

October 11–12

🐉 DRAGON WALKING SWORDSMANSHIP — PART II

The Living Dragon

Part I established the foundation.

Now… the journey deepens.

Over one unforgettable weekend, a dedicated group of martial artists came together to begin exploring the Walking Dragon Sword of Northern Shaolin. They learned that a sword form is far more than choreography—it is structure, timing, intention, and spirit.

Now we continue.

Part II: The Living Dragon is where the form begins to breathe.

Together we’ll refine Dragon Stepping, transitional movement, body connection, sword intent, and the subtle principles that transform memorized movements into authentic swordsmanship.

This isn’t simply about learning another sequence.

It’s about becoming a better swordsman.

Whether you completed Part I or are preparing to join us on this journey, I invite you to witness what happens when tradition is passed directly from teacher to student—one movement, one correction, one revelation at a time.

As my teacher often reminded me:

“You don’t practice until you get it right… you practice until you cannot get it wrong.”

Thank you to everyone who made Part I such an incredible experience.

The dragon is awakening.

I look forward to seeing you all for Part II.

Train the body. Cultivate the spirit. Honor the tradition.

Some of you are still walking a little funny from part one. That’s not a joke, that’s the standard.

This is Northern Shaolin sword work from a documented lineage — not a weekend improv class. If you were there in April, you know what’s coming. If you weren’t, ask someone who was.
