One of my two seniors in my Wudan Shaolin school, is a Bok Lum Snake style and is incredible. He can take a watermelon, and with a snake hand, go right through a watermelon and explode it. His snake style is traditional, not wushu, and he has trained in it since he was 5 years old, now age 35! He is also 6' 6" and about 300 lbs and as fast as the monk on this video! Imagine having to spar him every day for 7 years. And my bird is not too bad.....LOL!!

When I first trained with him after 12 or 13 years in another system, he was 17 and just as tall but much lighter. The bad thing is the extra muscle and weight did not hinder him at all! Ouch! Interesting though...he would not hurt you as long as you fought him and stayed in there and used your system, but if you ran from him, he would get pissed and try to mess you up....said his father taught both you and him, why are ya running? Because you are very big, very fast, very adept, and I was a bird so I flew!!! LOL!

I do not know, I am a Bird, hopefully flying above or around him...LOL! Actually, Ronnie did some amazing training which I was not totally privy to as I met him at 17 and he has been training since age 5, so I am not sure if it is similar to my eagle, Ninebird, crane, etc hand training.

Just curious, do you know if his style of snake uses a lot of pressure point strikes?

What distinguishes your style from other snake styles?
