Coiling Dragon. 8 Snake Palms

Actually Coiling Snake Eight Palms. We very much like this type of VCD. It shows short groups of movements done in a marching form that are not simply basics and not yet forms. Rather they act as essential building blocks for more advanced forms and actions. These have the essence of Snake which, by the time Sun is done, is a perfect bridge to his Ba Gua Palms and, at the same time, a perfect derivation from his Ba Gua Palms. Here is a style that combines “Internal“ arts such as BaGua with “external“ such as Shaolin. Coiling Dragon emphasizes flexibility and elongated muscles. The movements combine the powerful and the loose with an unusual harmony and balance. Not a lot of sets but each one significant. Demonstrator: Sun Xiang is a direct disciple in the Sun family of their Coiling Dragon inheritance. He is the official coach of the China Police University and his moves show a non-nonsense attitude. He is quite limber and in excellent condition for his age. #chinesemartia
