I’ve heard many legends and myths regarding the sacred lost art of the Skunk Fist Style. The principles of this style is based on elusiveness, aggression, and using both circular and linear body movement. Accorrding to legend, this style was brought to the US during the great gold rush days when the Chinese were working on the railroads there. It was passed down to every family member of each railroad station near San Fransisco. It is now flourishing deep in the China Towns of America and is said to be the milestone of the forgotten Beaver Claw system. Apparently, these styles originated from Fukien Shi Lum but also has roots to Ngor Mei because the colors of the skunk represents Yin and Yang.
Unfortunately, the beaver style is buddhist only and extremely external. Beaver style is based on using more teeth and claw, or ripping and grappling action. I’ve also heard that the original skunk forming fist kuen is the predecessor to Tong Long. Some of the training forms will be discussed here later. It is said that the highest level form combines both the skunk and the beaver systems, therefore taking care of all ranges of combat. Unfortunately, there are no weapons but only odors. The a$$ is conditioned from day one of birth. Any information regarding these styles would be appreciated. Please feel free to add any comments or correction to this information, regarding the history, training methods, forms, etc.
I’ve heard that this style also has a cousin style called purple ape style that was actually once talked about on this forum.
There are 18 hand forms in skunk fist but some of my knowledge is missing. Here are the names of the forms that I have.
- Debagging the Skunk from behind.
- Fierce Skunk taming the Beaver.
- Beaver and Skunk two man set.
- Rabid Poisonous Skunk Spits out its bum.
- 8 directional Skunk Fist.
- Drunken Skunk
- Yin and Yang Skunk Chi Gung, aka, Stinking Skunk Gung (high level)
- 18 Evil Skunks Odor the forest.
- Continuous Stinking Skunk Crosses the Beaver Dam (dim mak form with meditation, two man form, and herbs for each med, times of days, etc.)
- Heavenly Skunk Fist
- Skunk Step, aka Straight Skunk Step
- Nine Step Beaver Fist
- Five Skunks Sh!tting Palm.
The rest of the other 5 forms are related to iron palm, cotton skunk palm, vibrating skunk a$$ palm,
Skunk palm training starts from birth by slapping wet beaver **** for 100 days, then dry beaver sh!t for 200. It is said that at the end of the 300 days the sh!t must stay on the hands for and extra 100 days, soo 400 total! This is only level one.
Does anyone know level 2 and up.
