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.

 

Isn't it named "sibu" or "xibu" ?

Anyone knows the real name of the kick "Dragon in the mud"? It's kinda like tornado kick but you land on the same foot that kicks.

Hoinestly, i have no clue. as i've said elsewhere, we didn't bother much with the names of things so much as we did learning to do it right.

yes, that's correct. As for the tornado kick - the wushu variation is to land on the same foot that kicks - we called it a tornado kick also. I'm not sure if there's another name for it.

I know of two types of dragon stances. One looks a little like hsia shih (snake creeps down) in Taijiquan, only both hands are in the hook/crane position and the arms are outstretched and slightly back. The other one has your back leg bent and pointing perpendicular to the direction you're facing, with the other one slightly bent and pointing in the direction you're facing. One arm points in the direction of the front leg, slightly tilted downward, and the other is behind the head and bent at the elbow, with the fist pointing towards the ceiling.

The only reference I can make to the dragon whipping it's tail is from Bruce Lee's "Return of the Dragon" when he executed a spinning hook kick to a thug.

Forgot to mention, your body needs to be as paralell to the ground while in the air. I think Jackie Chan does it in the movie "Rumble in the bronx" when he is fighting the head thug (the thug is lying on the pool table and jackie tries to kick him)

the wushu kick i'm thinking of that's sort of like that lands laying down, stays for about three seconds, then vaults through another kick to land in a right sided/left horse stance. Same thing?

 

the one parallel to the ground sounds like a horozontally challenged roundhouse kick. what's it used for?
