Snake Kung Fu is a type of animal imitation kung fu that mimics the movements of the snake in attacking and defending.
In Snake Kung Fu, the footwork of the style is agile and nimble, with the upper body supple at all times. The arms mimic the side-winding motion of a snake, with sudden curling and uncurling characteristics. The entire body moves as one. The body flows into a strike, and turns with a parry.
The snake is unpredictable yet vicious, and Snake Kung Fu is one of the most deceptive styles of animal boxing. It closes distances quickly and traps / jams its enemies with entangling movements, before finally killing them with a vicious well placed strike.
These characteristics are reflected in Snake Kung Fu - The Snake Fighter never charges directly. He is patient, and waits for an opportunity to present itself before hitting home with sharp, quick strikes that target the weak spots of the enemy. The favourite targets are the eyes, throat, pressure points and joints. In particular, Snake Kung Fu are divided into four categories reflecting the characteristics of the snake:
Winding
The snake winds its body backward when it is alert to its surroundings. It raises it head to size up its prey and prepare a strike. It also raises its head to detect enemies. The overall impetus is cautious, observant and alert. This is reflected in the guard position of Snake Kung Fu, with a raised Bent Head Palm that can defend and attack at an instant. Coiling or winding the Bent Head Palm mimics to the snake winding up to anticipate the opponent’s strike and build up impetus in anticipation of a counter-strike.
Constriction
Certain types of snake rely on coiling their body around its prey to kill it through the process of constriction. In Snake Kung Fu constriction is the concept of constricting the opponent’s attacking limb to jam their movements. It is commonly associated with the hands wiping outward or circling the opponent’s arm to seize and immobilize, then striking at the opponent’s weak points (e.g. eyes, throat or joints).
Dropping downward
Snakes drop downward to dodge an enemy or strike in an ambush attack from above. The impetus of fast downward movement and downward strikes plays an important part in Snake Kung Fu. For example, downward movement is used to dodge the opponent’s attack and then to suddenly strike at his lower targets.
Thrusting
Snakes strike forward in a fast straight-line manner to bite and kill its prey. This is manifested through the Flat Head Palm. The key is to remain relax up until the instant prior to impact, upon which the muscles are tensed and then released through the finger tips at the moment of impact. This is not the same as bluntly stabbing the target.
Rising
Rising mimics the snake moving upward to bite its prey. This is the rising action of an upward palm strike or the rising of the body after leading the opponent’s force downward. Balance is to be maintained at all times, and is to be coordinated with the opening of the relevant joints and rising of Chi (exhale) from the dan tien.
