Snake style

[Tant01]

What I know...

So what do people here think the drawbacks are with snake style kung fu? I find that it has a limited target area when striking due to the fact that most of the strikes in snake are snake hand strikes (open hand). You are limited to soft tissue areas such as eyes, groin, and throat. Or strikes to pressure point areas such as arm pit, pectoral area, and bladder/stomach area. The advantage is that the strikes are fast and can be deceptive. I find snake style to be effective when used in conjunction with other animal styles such as tiger or crane styles that way you can use the techniques you know from those styles when the oppertunity presents its self.

Your thoughts???

I don't know jack about "snake" style (kung-fu)... I had a pet snake a while back. Big beauty pink belly Boa. She was awesome. Weighed about 35 pounds and was over 8 feet long. (sorry no metric conversion) I fed her live rats from time to time and learned some "kung-fu" from her style. I watched her miss more than once and smash her head into thick tempered glass...

She was fast. Snakes LIKE her have been filmed striking in as little as
1/400th of a second. It takes a typical human about ten times that long just to START moving. So she could sink her teeth in faster than a man can blink.

BUT here's the interesting part! After she got her fangs in she coiled her body around her prey and STRANGLED them....


Thanks for reading me...

Why won't you give out his name, no one is going to call him.

Anyways, can we get back on topic and discuss snake style???

Yes, they would and they would bug him. Yes, they would.

I am going to keep personal stuff to myself.

I think the snake style does not have any drawbacks at all. There are also many their strike in the snake style, such as palm strikes and a side chopping strike , sort of like a karate chop. The snake style also has many coiling, trapping, seizing, locking techniques as well as techniques that are like Chin Na techniques. The snake styles strengths are fluidity and speed. as well as flowing and deflecting the force of attack, instead of always meeting it head on.

I think the snake style would be a good style to use against MMA type of fighting, in combat. or against a larger aggressive attacker.

There are some styles that could give the sake stylish some problems though. One style is the Paraying Mantis. With the many trapping techiques of the Mantis it may make some techniques harder to achieve. But because the snake style has coiling and twisting techniques, the snake sylish can weave out of many situations and find the holes and openings.

I had a ball python that I fed live rats. He was about 5 1/2 feet long. He died though when we had a terrible ice storm back in 2004 or somewhere around that time. My town was without power for 5 days, some were out of power for 7 days. But anyways, my snake froze to death because I had no way of keeping him warm.

You are a rude person. You have NO manners. It's a shame that you don't live close to where I live. If you did I would teach you to be respectful and to have manners. Even if it meant I had to beat it into you. Now that would be fun. Have a nice day.
