This is much slower, and toned down as a teaching tool. It's teaching snake style, which is something I am still exploring and discovering.

Snake style is all about horizontal flow. Much of it is kept very close to the body and swirls around with great degrees. Snake style integrates wonderfully with hyper. This is a 3 minute wordless snake flow, but taken very slowly to show the movements. There are a few new moves that I have included and discovered today. There are a limited amount of snake moves in here, but these are all foundations to get your on your way. I did less footwork to help show the techniques that the chucks go through. Enjoy!

When attempting to do snake, it's more about attitude and movement of the body. Keep the chuck close, and circling in different angles. Don't be predictable, and don't be afraid to jump out of snake into hyper, face plane, or sharp aerial combos. Snake should be slightly slower than the other styles. Most importantly: Let your entire body take over. I didn't let it take over in the tutorial to show the chuck moves.. They are not terribly hard, which gives you time to really put your body into it. Then, when you want to add in complexity, just switch out of snake for that moment.

  • your awsome dude keep on doing it

  • Brother, how kick ass can one man be? Look no further!

    Ruvidan teaches what he knows, learns more daily, and shares that too. Not stingy with what he has learned, he is allowed the Knowing of the One Kata, the True Form, that which all other martial arts movements are just a reflection.

    Well done, Bodhi! You lens and channel the One Form!

  • Thanks bro. I truly am sharing this as I learn it, haha. That leg wrap/pass was just discovered about 1 hour before I recorded it.
