Snakes live in the wild. They are known
for
1 being strong and fast. Chinese martial arts masters noticed this and created a style named snake boxing(蛇拳). When the masters do it, they move like
snakes
2 to be strong and quick.
"Snake boxing copies the snake's natural feeding, fighting and
rapid
3 striking movements.
These moves are
smartly
4 connected to attack and defense(防守) moves," said Fu Guogang, a snake boxing master. He comes from Zhejiang Province. He is in his
fifties
5 and he has been practising snake boxing for more than 40 years. As 2025
marks
6 the Year of the Snake, he has had
more chances
7 to show this fighting style at public events since the Spring Festival holiday.
When
8 he practises the martial arts, he uses different fist(拳), palm(掌) and finger shapes.
Fu believes snake boxing
depends on
9 both internal(内部的) and external(外部的) strength. What's more, it is a valuable
cultural
10
tradition which has developed over a long time.
"For powerful results, people
need
11 to build a strong back and strong fingers to create
power
12 and carry out attacks," Fu explained.
Breathing
13 is also important during movements and it needs internal training to become proper. The mix of
softness
14 and hardness follows Taoist principles(道家原则),
especially
15 the yin and yang balance.
