Splashing Hands

It’s not as popular as other styles…just wanted to hear some opnions on how effective you think it is.

You rush your opponent with fast punches and kicks.

It doesn’t look very impressive. Are you looking for good kung fu in LA?
That isn’t hard to find.

Hard to say from those 2 short clips.

No not really…especially since I’m on the east coast…I wanted to see if anybody had practiced splashing hands or seen it in action.

Supposedly every art can kick the sh!t outta all the others :slight_smile:

Especially the Rare ones :smiley:

those links aren’t working for me. I’ve heard of the style though. In the early nineties, james mcneil was trying to promote it via video tapes sold through unique publications. Also, he has a proogram where you can have intense private sessions that run several weeks per session at his school, Nine Little Heaven Kung Fu.

I’ve heard of it as well. It is one of the core disciplins of Shaolin. It’s said that someone who studies it can eventually brake glass bottles with one or two fingers. I have an older VHS tape about Jet Li and Shaolin Kung Fu in which it is demonstrated. It’s kind of hard to follow, though. The subtitles are real bad. It’s good for reviewing techique, though, and for tripping out non-MA people. It shows a 60-year-old monk pulling a 300lb roller with his scrotem, called Golden Egg, and an 80-year-old monk balanceing on one finger, called finger skill. OUCH!

Hey, I’ve seen that too!

And I can break a bottle with one finger. Get a bottle, stick one finger in the mouth and then slam the bottle into the ground or a wall or something.

Easy.

Still gonna hurt… How 'bout Golden Egg?:wink:

Hmmm, maybe I’ll give it a go. It would have to be one well greased roller though!

Now that is gonna hurt. The egg(s) will not be golden but more a purple/black color if you try that one :smiley:

Assuming they’re not simply ripped clean off.

:eek:

What’s so clean about ripping them off!?!?

At lesat you wouldn’t have to wash them anymore :smiley:

OK then. Ripped filthy off.

Hmmm… Then you could use splashing hands to clean whats left?

You’d have splashing nuts.

Ew.

Now if GDA were in on this conversation he would just say that he would leave them to rot and pus up. That is Ew :smiley:
