Shaolin Snake:
There is not a place, a religion, a culture that did or does not have some Snake Symbolism. It is blamed for Adam and Eve's banishment from Eden; is is the Symbol of Western Doctors; in Egypt they were gods and in Greek Mythology often associated with evil.
Snakes have figured prominently in the religions, customs and folklore of people throughout the world. To early humans, snakes must have possessed seemingly magical, almost supernatural attributes. They have the ability to move without legs over and through all types of terrain, vegetation and water. They have the ability to find, capture and eat prey without the aid of appendages, as well as to periodically shed an old skin and the ravages of time to reveal a new, brightly hued mantle. They could arise in the spring, resurrected from the ice of winter, and, in a few cases, could cause sickness or death with a single bite. A science fiction writer could scarcely ask for a better model, so it is not surprising that snakes gave rise to all manner of tall tales and myths. It is also not surprising that a Snake is one of the Shaolin Animals.
The Snake Stylist:
You need to be patient without being patient; be knowledgeable without really knowing anything; be wise without experiencing. You need to love detail and precision, be a person who just loves hearing tales of clever events, ancient and modern wisdoms and hero's. You need to like to do it by the book, each time and never get tired of it.
The Snakes Head:
The Snake only has it's head as a weapon. it is a very vulnerable and vital area. It needs to be very accurate. quick, precise and safe when extending it's head for attack. The Snake stylists also only uses one limb, only once (generally) very simple emulating the attack of the Snake. When using the foot, it is not a power technique but one that focuses to get the big toe to a specific vulnerable target; once. Hands are in the Shape of a Snakes Head but again, only the biggest, center finger is used for targeting, precise, quick and once. This will then be executed with minimum energy usage. The strike will only be then executed when you feel that it will have 99.999% success and if no further effort is required. For the Snake Style is that of a single, accurate, very high efficiency strike or kick. The Shaolin Snake style practitioner is never the attacker (much like the Shaolin Crane). It waits patiently for the right moment, the right spot, the right 'opportunity' for it's single, precise attack. It does not use any style of blocking but relies on it's agile body and quick reflexes being enough to avoid any contact what so ever. The Snake allows only one contact and that is it's attack.
those who can't keep snake as pet.. i suggest you to keep snakehead as your friend.. snakehead style, feeding style, moving style, aggresive are same as real snake..
