Alaska!! Sifu Kisu Stars is coming to Alaska on December 7th to share his passion of Kung Fu with you. You have an opportunity to learn from the Master! Meet the man behind the Kung fu!

Sifu Kisu is a martial arts expert best known for his role as the martial arts consultant for the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. He was instrumental in developing the authentic fighting styles for the show’s characters. Each bending style in the series (Earthbending, Firebending, Waterbending, and Airbending) was based on real-world Chinese martial arts, and Sifu Kisu helped to choreograph the movements and techniques to reflect these styles accurately.

Kisu is a practitioner of Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, which he has studied extensively for decades. His expertise in this and other traditional martial arts, including Tai Chi and Hung Gar, was critical in ensuring that the bending styles in the series had a distinct, disciplined, and realistic feel. His work helped contribute to the cultural richness and depth of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Avatar: The Last Airbender used Kung Fu and the imagination to create a once-in-a-lifetime story. This story focuses on 4 different martial arts styles and 4 different bending styles. The four Kung Fu styles are: Air: Bagua, Water: Tai Chi, Fire: Northern Shaolin, Earth: Hung Ga.
