Martial Art Profile: Drunken Style Kung-Fu (醉拳)

Drunken Style Kung-Fu, Drunken Fist, Drunken Boxing.....all names for a very interesting and effective Martial Art. Many Chinese Styles of Martial Arts were created by the study of different things, such as Snakes, Cranes, Tigers, Praying Mantis, and even Drunks....lol. when using this style of Kung-Fu, you are not really intoxicated, as that would hinder you more than help. The momentum you create, as well as your unpredictability help you in defeating your opponent. Moves such as falling flat on your back, staggering forward and backward, and spinning seemingly uncontrollably, are all faked to throw the opponent in a confusion, which is when you strike. Another interesting aspect is that your hands form as if you are holding two cups, and the art utilizes many types of joint locks as well. This style was made famous by Jackie Chan. this clip shows a quick look at Drunken Fist. It is from a real good show called "Fight Science". Enjoy :)

Martial Arts Posts?

yes, I know everyone has been wondering what happened to my Martial Arts Posts........Due to the Olympics, me being busy etc., I wasn't very attentive to those types of posts. Please do not worry, they are coming soon : ) I also got the entire season for a great show called "Human Weapon", from the History Channel and gained some insight on some new martial arts that I would love to share.......
