Скачать или смотреть Amerikick Internationals 2021 (Virtual Tournament) - Shaolin Cane Form

Performance of the Shaolin Cane (aka "Kwok Cane") form by Sifu Alex Buoye. This is the version of the form as taught by Sifu Al Bender, Jr. The video was submitted for competition in the 2021 Amerikick Internationals Virtual Tournament, placing 2nd in the 30+ Men's Black Belt Traditional Weapons division.

The Kwok Cane form (sometimes performed with an umbrella) was created by Grandmaster Peter Kwok as a synthesis of techniques from the other weapons taught earlier in the Northern Shaolin curriculum. Techniques from the Shaolin broadsword (Dao), long staff (gun) and double-edge sword (jian) are all incorporated into the form.

Notably absent from the form are twirling and hooking techniques using the horn (crook) of the cane that are common in cane forms from other styles (e.g., Hapkido). As such, the form can be formed with straight canes that do not have a horn as well.
