Year of the Snake

Post by emattson »

Happy Chinese New Year, 2025. Today is the year of the snake and though not very well known, there is a form of Snake Kung Fu. It is a Shaolin boxing style, known as "snake boxing" or "fanged snake style" ('snake fist') imitating snakes' movements. A snake is a fearsome predator, but no match for the mongoose. It seems appropriate that we also have a mongoose Kung Fu, one of the seven fighting styles brought to China by the Bodhisattva warrior, Da Mo.
