Green Bamboo Viper

Green Bamboo Viper originated on the river banks of Cambodia and made its way up to Southern China and eventually to the Southern Shaolin Temple near Fukien Provence. As it moved up towards Southern China it got more and more refined/sophisticated until it was intigrated into Shoalin. This style of snake uses mostly open hand strikes and few closed hand strikes. It uses low kick such as low hook kicks to the groin area and oblique kicks to the knees. This is the snake style that my grandmaster teaches. His name is GM Wing Loc Johnson Ng. Ng family style kung fu is similiar to Sil Lum Kung Fu with a heavy influence of Six Harmony Kung Fu. You don't learn how to incorporate the Six Harmonies until advanced stages (5th level black sash and above) of training.

The snake style that Grandmaster John Ng teaches comes from Bamboo Temple and is the Green Bamboo Viper. It originated on farms in Cambodia near the river banks and made its way up to Southern China. This particular snake style is pretty cool looking and is performed using med/high stances compared to other snake styles that use really low stances. It has more open hand techniques than it does closed hand techniques. But it does have some closed hand/fists in it. Grandmaster John Ng and John Dufresne both teach a snake breathing exercise where you you make your whole body tense/hard while executing different snake strikes and breathing a certain way. This exercise is supposedly to cultivate your chi. This breathing exercise if done right will ware you out.
