Shaolin Xiao Hong Quan Practical Application

This guy is really knowledgable. It's all about unpacking the basic forms to learn their applications, and he's deconstructing the forms beautifully.

Wow, this is really impressing. This guy is really good, it's nice to see masters who teach traditional martial arts in a practical way, not only pure forms.

I have seen hundreds of Shaolin videos, but for the first time all the techniques are perfectly clear. I trained in Wing Chun for a while and find some similarities. Respect from Sri Lanka. Great stuff, Sifu!

I can see from the body alignment that this instructor is a real master.

Thank you so much Guys, I have got many emails, So Soon will make be demonstrating and explaining the Shaolin Form Luohan Shi Ba shou ( 18 Hands Of Luohan)

Rare to find a Shaolin master on youtube with REAL speed/power/application knowledge. Please keep these videos comming.

Dear Shifu KANISHKA, First, accept my appreciation of the speed, fluidity and multilevel application of self defence as applied by an advanced level Shaolin Xia Hong Expert, like You. Having spent over 30 years as an instructor of Goju-ryu Karate, teaching mostly beginners, I would encourage yout Shifu KANISHKA, to shouw the beginners, how to face aggressors with Maritala art knowledge above their level. Methodically, I am particularly fond of the last part of your presentation when fighting at a long distance and countering with legs, afgter moving to the sides. That approach could be taught at the beiginnig, as close distance is the matter of higher provicciency. Best regards, Paul Bajusz, 65, retired instructor from Europe.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE STUDENT THAT TOOK ALL OF THOSE HITS AND FALLS, TO FACILITATE THIS DEMONSTRATION! I am a Level Seven in Wing Chun in Calgary Canada, and your demonstration was unusually impressive. The efficiency of movement is similar to how we train here.

I love how when you demonstrate your techniques you don't just say "he does this so i do this" like so many other guys do. You say "When he does this, I could do this AND if he does something to block and counter me then I have this option." So many demonstrators make it look like there is a definite way to block and counter anything and the opponent will be helpless; which is always wrong because the other guy can respond yo your initial response. Thank you for sharing

Thank You Shifu Kanishka for sharing your insights with the world who is ready for it. I started training at 12yo in karate at a community center for a measly $15/mo in the late 80s. My sensei would show up to every class infallibly, even when he was sick or injured. He would explore/explain a technique ad infinitum if we let him. When one loves an art/sport, one makes sacrifices without much of a fore thought. This Shifu seems to be made of the same stuff. To Mr S Kill GR, a lot of martial arts have evolved to sports because after all noone should die at a tournament. These arts were perfected in fields of battle/interpersonal combat. Jigaro Kano kept out a lot of the lethal techniques found in ju jitsu/s and Judo was the result. It evolved into more of a sport out of necessity to exist during the american occupation of japan. Before that Judo was still dangerous for it's practitioners sort of speak. Same thing with Karate. These arts had to survive in a different environment than what gave them birth. The UFC changed a lot after UFC five or six because it had the potential to be too brutal, politics aside. It is a great sport and I am a fan of it. We perfect what we practice mindfully. I don't think Shifu Kanishka is being irresponsible in his demonstrations. In fact, I am ever grateful for gift since I can see aspects of my arts application. Few hoodlums would take the time to understand/practice the techniques so they are useful. Bullets have empowered the coward. I wish I was as well spiritually developed as this Shifu. Eat bitter everyone!

Excellent Martial Art demo. A true master of martial arts. Keep it up. Captain Jesus END OF LINE

Watching this video in 2019. Fantastic breakdown of fighting application. Thank you for sharing your knowledge online.

this is the most legit shaolin kungfu master i've seen on youtube. Thank you for showing us this. Amazing

Fantastic movement, great to see traditional Kung fu applied well in non traditional situations, a man that has knows his art and has thought about its depth and experimented with it. Props

Wow these are realy outstanding very effective techniques that look very familiar to me. Which are the circular and redirection theory. I was taught these,same techniques in Kyokushinkai Karate of which the basis is the circular shifting redirection with Ki/ Chi energy. Of which Tai Jutsu and Aikido use which are a part of advanced Kyokushin Karate techniques and training. The Master Sifu is Awesone. A True skilled deep well of knowledge and experience who reminds me of my Masters. Respect and admiration to the him, the Sifu Master Usu!

Respect Sir, Absolutely the best verbal and graphical display of teaching ive seen. Thankyou.

You my friend are the most powerful teacher i saw on internet God bless

It is not about what you guys like or dont like. It is also not about what will win you a title in the UFC. Martial arts is about having discipline and learning how to control your body. This guy can defend himself and really hurt people who mess with him. You guys need to stop posting fan boy comments and get out there and learn something.

Sifu Kanishka, this is one of the best, if not the best self defense video I have ever seen. In Japanese this would be called the bunkai, which is the practical application of the "kata" (or set). Thank you for sharing.

Que maravilha a arte marcial, aplicada por mestre de alto nível!
