Sparky Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Anyone ever heard of the dragon stance? How does your style perform it, and what are the applications?

CloudDragon Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 no, where have you heard of it? A Black Belt is just a white belt that don't know when to quit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhong Gau Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 (edited) sounds stylish. Edited December 12, 2004 by Zhong Gau Ah! Mantis Grasshopper, i think you would do very nicely on a bowl of rice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Dragon whips its tail, we use to do a kick that one of our instructors use to refer to as a dragon kick. Its basically a mule kick with both hands on the floor and the kick is shooting upward rather than straight back. Real un realistic kick in my opinion but it was part of the first kata in our purple belt. But as far as Dragon stance I myself have never seen or heard of it. A True Martial Arts Instructor is more of a guide than anything, on your way to developing the warrior within yourself!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Yup. Looks pretty much like what karate guys have as a sanchin-dachi. The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhong Gau Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 (edited) The Mantis style can teach you the intricasies of the horse stance (Its twelve variations and names). the way my sifu explained it: everything is basically horse stance or a variation if you want to concentrate on fighting don't worry about naming anything, just fight. One of my more immediate brothers who runs the english school tried to teach like our sifu but was met with unusual resistance by people comming in from japanese styles whom have names for everything and want names for everything else. Chan's school does this. It's probably one of the reason's why they make more money than we do. Edited December 12, 2004 by Zhong Gau Ah!

SevenStar Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 there are two basic positions for each leg: forward and backward. right forward dragon: stand square. step forward with your right, turn ankle 90 degrees to the right. draw left knee up to touch the bottom of right calf. get it? sounds like what we referred to as a scissors stance. I've also heard it called a twisted horse stance, or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned dragon whips it's tail as a sweep, not a kick. In thai boxing, however, crocodile whips it's tail is indeed a kick. It's a spinning hook kick.

Drunken Monkey Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 the "dragon whips tail" i know is a hand technique that uses the stance you describe below "right forward dragon: stand square. step forward with your right, turn ankle 90 degrees to the right. draw left knee up to touch the bottom of right calf" but this doesn't sound like the dragon stance i know either. dragon stance for me is like the "front bow rear arrow" but narrower. more importantly is the way you move in and out of it. it flows as opposed to clunks; y'know, you don't step into it, you sliiiiiide into it (if that makes any sense). post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
