Dragon Ying style Kung Fu?

[Alan Armstrong]

Dragon Ying style Kung Fu is an internal style, Conceptualized from the mythical Chinese Dragon. Styles vary but what holds true is the more one practices martial arts the more a person's attributes become more Dragon like. This is the wisdom of the Dragon shining through that comes with age and practice. Using less energy and gaining more power. Using less punches and exchanging them for grabs instead. Having better 360 degree spatial awareness compared to the peripheral and tunnel vision effect of many fighters. Chi Kung practice ties in perfectly with the Dragon style. Concealing hardness in softness. Developing strength and power in natural movements. Incorporating all styles of MA without discernable characteristics. As the mythical dragon dwells in the ocean and in the clouds there is a large amount of water and air logic wisdom to draw from. The practice of slapping water for instance and the type of strength gained from swimming. The boxer Mohammed Ali, floated like a butter fly and stings like a bee, because he practiced in a swimming pool as well as a gym of course. The late great Bruce Lee also known as the dragon. He could fly with his techniques because of practicing on a trampoline with weights. Doing things the difficult way brings about some incredible results. Mix your MA training with the professional sprinter's training schedule and see what comes of it. What is your opinion on the dragon?

[Alan Armstrong]

The Dragon is part of the element of surprise tactic. Clouds and Oceans; throwing and takedowns are part of the Dragons asernal. It is a reptilian style, with quick to stop and start movements. Un like the insect that moves each body part independently, the Dragon utilizes full body coordinated strength. The Chinese mythical Dragon can appear and disappear at will. We cannot realistically do this but we can seem to appear and disappear by utilizing the blind spots of our opponents. Quick side stepping, squatting and ducking can seem like appearing and disappearing to the opponent.
