To all Parents: An Important Message about Your Children What is the greatest gift that you can give your child? Money? Clothes? Toys? What if you knew of a gift which you could give your child and which would be with him for the rest of his life? What if you knew that this gift would be absolutely invaluable in getting your child through life?What is this gift? It is the gift of martial arts! Training in the martial arts will give your child self-confidence, self-validation, self-worth, and will channel your child's energies into productive and constructive action.But wait, isn't martial arts about fighting, about kicking and punching and violence? It is true that the martial arts are, by definition, concerned with the nature of fighting. However, Sifu Kisu believes that the martial arts are more than a vehicle for fighting. They are a vehicle for the cultivation of self-discipline, self-control, as well as self-defense.When a child learns to control himself, when he learns the true value of self-discipline, and when he becomes confident in his abilities of mind and body, then what lofty goal can remain out of reach? Northern ShaolimKung Fu is a difficult and arduous path, but one that is also extremely rewarding. In the physical realm, the child learns to control the body through the forms and the techniques. By controlling the body, the child learns to discipline the mind, to strengthen the mind over the body, and to push the body beyond endurance through determination and sheer will. In the union of mind and body, the rewards are potentially limitless.When the child learns to value a healthy body, of what benefit can drugs be? When the child learns to value a healthy mind, of what benefit can the common modern, misleading "wisdom" be? When the child is secure and confident in himself, of what value can gangs be? Through Northern Shaolim Kung Fu, the child learns more than just how to defend himself. He learns the initial steps to becoming a constructive, positive, and contributing member of society.

Additional Information
The Northern Shaolim style of kung fu is one of the most prominent traditional northern styles of Chinese martial arts. The northern styles of kung-fu generally emphasize long range techniques, quick advances and retreats, wide stances, kicking and leaping techniques, whirling circular blocks, quickness, agility, and aggressive attacks.
The system teaches empty-hand techniques and weaponry through predetermined combinations, routines, or movement of sets. The students learn the basics by practicing the routines until the movements in the routines can be executed naturally based on instinct. Then, two or multiple man sets are practiced to train responses and applications of techniques learned from the sets. The practice sets/routines are not only practical in applications but are also graceful and artistic in nature. The fluidness of the movements combined with acrobatic techniques are trademarks of the Northern Shaolim Kung-Fu sets.
The Northern Shaolim style of Kung-Fu was made famous by the late Grand Master Ku Yu Cheung. There are many legends about the master. According to some related by his close students, Master Ku's father was an accomplished exponent of the Tan Toi (Snapping Kicks) Kung-Fu style. When he was young, Master Ku traveled throughout Northern China to learn all the northern kung-fu systems. He was renowned for his Iron Palm techniques and the application of the long spear weapon. He organized all his learnings into what is the Northern Shaolim Kung Fu today.
Master Ku was born in the late 1800s. He has been the head of a security guard company a policy official and head instructor of major martial arts institutes. Master Ku was recognized by the Chinese martial arts community as having the most devastating Iron Palm techniques in the history of Kung Fu. Master Ku taught many students, his eldest student is Yen Zan Wu. Other close students are Lone Gee Cheung and Lau Kam Tung. Master Yen Zan Wu was responsible for the wide spreading of the art in Hong Kong. His students traveled throughout the world including the United States. One of them, Master So Bin Yuen (Johnny So) taught the art to Master Ken Hui here in Los Angeles. Master Ken Hui in turn taught the art to Sifu Kisu who continues to pass on the tradition.
The Northern Shaolim system of boxing is a complete and effective style of self-cutivation and self-defense.
