I love that you understand how to use the stances for sweeps and throws. Grappling in Kung Fu often gets overlooked and in my opinion, it's some of our best stuff. Glad to see fresh content, keep it up!

[@AuthenticShaolin]

I appreciate you. Thanks for the great comment. Grappling is a very important part of kung fu. It's a shame more stylists don't use it. Thanks for the support. 🤙🤙🤙

[@wongjunquan2662]

Can I use eagle Claw combined with Snake style or can I use Snake style and creane

[@shaolinmonkey1112]

This is very similar to Northern Shaolin snake

[@antonivi8968]

This style automatically makes me think of eyepokes, which are illegal in like MMA and such but would very effective; as can be seen in the rough clips where fighters have gotten poked by accident.

[@The-Contractor]

Damn near impossible to pull off in real world. About 70% of sensory inputs come through the eyes. We're genetically engineered to protect our eyes. "Short Power" strike from touch distance is possible. Fanning is another practical technique.

[@sebastiannatera777]

We have snake fist elements in Wing Chun with our Ton Sao and Bil Sao. Your snake drill would be Lap Sao, Pak Sao, Jit Sao strike. I really see a lot of what I do in your video.

[@AuthenticShaolin]

That's awesome 🤙. Thank you for watching and seeing more similarities than differences. We all all connected and martial family🙏.

[@JulesWeinberg]

S 8:15 started research snake style and have not had much luck with Snake style video. This was a help,especially the modern example. Great explanation of technique application

The Gua is just raising an elbow, and from it you can transition smoothly into another gua (different arm) or a jab. So, it is a very good move. A move is good if it is 1) efficient in terms of body mechanics, and 2) can transition well into other moves. The gua>jab>close-in>elbow-to-head looks pretty devastating.

[@AuthenticShaolin]

Absolutely. Elbows are very devastating when placed correctly. Thanks for the positive comment. Please subscribe and follow. 🤙

Snake strikes are a lot like regular boxing imo in terms of the arcs of the punches

[@AuthenticShaolin]

Absolutely correct. We are all more similar than people think. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe and follow for more vids. 🤙🤙🤙🙏

What are the benefits to phoenix eye and what parts of the body are ideal to strike with it? Can a phoenix eye be done when doing a vertical punch into the face?

[@chudheadquarters7949]

This is a great style. It was combined with Crane at some point in history to make Wing Chun.

[@AuthenticShaolin]

Yes 🤙🤙🤙🙏

[@aggelossiskakis2849]

Is snake style she quan considered a traditional chinese martial art style and if yes are there living grandmasters left?

[@AuthenticShaolin]

Certain styles have snake fist in their system of fighting and some forms, but not just a snake Style by itself. I would say most of the snake forms you see are more modern wushu then traditional, but their are traditional forms out in the community 🙏🙏🙏🤙

[@angel007_gr4]

hanging arm exactly like bong sao in wing chun

[@AuthenticShaolin]

Absolutely correct 🤙🤙🤙. Snake Style was one of the major components of Wing Tsun. Awesome style. Thanks for watching and supporting 🙏🤙

[@Dr.B_TigerStyle]

How about one of these type of videos on crane style?

[@AuthenticShaolin]

I will do my best. We have a lot of vids to make. We will get to it eventually. Thanks for the support 🤙

It reminds me of some Wing Chun movements.

[@AuthenticShaolin]

That's because wing Tzun incorporates snake in the style🤙🤙🤙🙏
