snake style
Reptilian martial art
Snake style is a martial arts approach characterized by fluid, sinuous movements that mimic a serpent—low stances, coiling motions, and strikes targeting vulnerable points like the eyes and throat.
It emphasizes flexibility and precision over brute force: He trained in snake style for years before mastering the finger strikes.
The term appears in kung fu traditions and frequently in martial arts films and video games.
