It is a hard skill, also known as snake walking. It is an indispensable skill for those who fight at night. It also practices the magic method of hand and foot Kung Fu, and also practices jumping.

2、 Cultivation principle of skill method

The practice process of this skill should follow the principles of from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult, from light to heavy, and from low to high. We should not be eager for success, but step by step.

3、 Skill practice steps

Phase I

At the beginning of learning, we should practice the strength of upper limbs and lower limbs to support the ground. The method is the same as that of modern push ups. It mainly exercises the muscles of waist and abdomen, especially chest muscles.

First, support the body with both hands, keep both arms perpendicular to the ground, extend both legs to the back of the body, and keep balance by relying on the toes of both hands and two feet.

The head, neck, back, hips and legs are in a straight line, the elbows are bent to the outside of the body (or clamped), and the body is lowered to basically close to the ground. Tighten your abdomen, keep your body in a straight line, then prop up and repeat the exercise.

Practice in the morning and evening, one group every 30 times, and the number gradually increases with the increasing strength (Fig. 1-fig. 6).

Second stage

Put your hands and toes on the ground, support your whole body, and keep your chest and abdomen two or three inches away from the ground.

This is the starting position, such as the “push up” in modern gymnastics. Lift the middle part of the body up into a bow back shape, press the two palms vigorously to the ground, support the two toes backward, and the whole body is completely in the air. Take the force of this support, that is, jump forward.

Still lean on the ground with palms and fingers, and the body is still two or three inches away from the ground, the same as the initial posture. Before practice, you must wear sand clothes and practice with weight. When the palm and toe are ready to jump freely, change the palm into a fist and continue according to the above method.

Then change the fist into five fingers, five fingers into three fingers, three fingers into two fingers, and then one toe; The toes are also formed from two feet to one foot, which is carried out according to law. Even if you can advance and retreat at will, your skills will be successful. Facing the enemy with it is not only the skill of fingers and toes, but also jumping is enough to help retreat.

And the snake on the ground makes the enemy unprepared and unprepared (Fig. 7-fig. 11).

Phase III

After decades of cold winter, the fingers and toes are hard, strong and powerful. If you fight with the enemy and touch the enemy’s acupoints, you will be in danger of cutting off the enemy’s blood vessels. If you point the enemy’s ribs, there is a danger of penetration. If you kick the enemy with your feet, you will have broken tendons and fractures.

It is one of the skills often practiced by monks in Shaolin Temple, and it is also an indispensable Kung Fu for actual combat against the enemy.

This skill is a snake walking skill that people walk at night to avoid descending. It is not easy to find, but also an unexpected and unprepared action skill. It is a strange skill in the Wulin (Fig. 12-fig. 19).
