Uncover the mystical Shaolin fire stick, a symbolic weapon with a fascinating history! Traditionally associated with the King of the Kinnara, this stick technique has a legendary origin.
According to stories, an eccentric monk miraculously appeared at Shaolin and defended the temple against Red Turban attackers during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). The fire stick style is a perfect balance of contrasts, combining quickness and slowness and strength and softness with integrated attack and defense techniques.
