Exactly one thing u can do is feel around on your own body for the obveous pressure points and creat some fighting combinations for those points, thats what I did....

I believe you should forget about creating your style. There are already too many people in the world, and specially in the West, that have "created" styles, without having mastered any single style in the first place. Furthermore, even mastering a kung fu system does not automatically mean that you should go and create a new style. Many masters are happy with the style(s) that have mastered and don't go around creating styles and there is a good reason for that. Creating a valid style involves more than just putting together some techniques that you have read about in a book. The Snake style is a profound style. It involves more than hitting pressure points with your fingers. How are you going to train your fingers? What kind of energy are you going to use to make the strikes? Where, and how are you going to develope the required energy (internal training)? What angles of striking are you going to use to make a particular pressure point strike effective? What about your defence? Your Stances? quote] Well, I do know that little finger training is necessary... pressure points are weak and thats all there is to it. The stances for snake style are grounded and upright, as for defence, well the majority of snake stylists have little defence except for dodging attacks and waiting, waiting for the right chance to strike a vital organ or pressure point. The attacks are quick and rather soft, the art doesn't focus on one hit KO's but instead drill the opponant until they are unable to fight. Energy for the strikes is the chi coming from the spine, one is to channel the chi up the spin through to the finger tips for srtikes to be accurate and strong. Sparring consists of repetitive drills and timing accuracy is the key to Snake style. I understand that its best to learn from a real master, but I have no other choice, the only martial art in my area is Tai Quan Do, and the instructers are not good so i have no other option, thanks for replying.

I understand, and I am up for the challenge, I'll just have to keep doing research, only time will tell. But I have put togeather a list of possible moves... but I won't post them because there hard to explain. Thanks for replying! ________________ "Some of the best fighters are self taught"

My style of fighting is probably not based on the same pressure point system that karate is based on so i couldnt tell you the exact pressure points, sorry.

The man most likely strikes the neck in the first swing, fallowed buy the lower neck or upper chest or in that area. Thats all I got.

Does anyone out there know a good martial art to learn on your own, from a book? I know most people frown apon any self taught martial art, but I'm desperate here! Any help is a preciated! ___________________ I wish I knew a martial art.... ANY martial art...

The best results you will get in finding a book on pressure points is by entering "Dim Mak" into a search engine. Dim Mak its the fighting style that uses pressure points to severly harm or even kill a person with a single touch.

Thanks for replying, now I know that this might sound stupid, but I have an idea, I think Ill get a book on pressure points and one on kung fu, study them and create my own style of snake form. If this idea sounds completely hopless and dumb please tell me, as you can tell Im obviously an amature. Thanks again for replying.

Hello, Im looking for any, ANY info on snake style kung fu or she quan, im really interested in this art. I know that it focuses on the pressure points of the body and that anyone learning it must be very accurate, which I am. But thats about it I'm afraid... I'm trying to find some good books on the art as well, because the martial arts schools where I live are slim to none, so could anyone request any books for me that would help with learing this form? Thanks!
