Snake Style Web Resources?

[arnisador]

Anyone know any good snake-style sites? I spent some while searching for ones at Yahoo!, Kung Fu Magazine Online's fora, and the Cyberkwoon fora, without much luck.

I know it's typically done as just one animal of many but I'm curious to learn more about it.

I also looked for books on it but only found videos. Kung Fu books on my shelf address it as one of the five animals but ultimately give it short schrift. I'm curious about how someone would fight snake-style, not about someone tossing in the occasional snake style technique while also using tiger, crane, etc. No deep reason--just curious.

Did you try the Clinton's web-site?

Oops...went to the Bahamas just for a moment...

Thanks, there is some good stuff at these sites!

The snake interests me--the pin-point accuracy and rapid strikes, as well as the idea of defeating someone without a flurry of hard punches.

Snake fist strikes are very hard to deal with. They are so accurate and have such small circles to them, very dangerous. Not to mention they are aimed at soft vital targets most of the time.
