Saw this quote in the other thread:


"It is very hard to unleash the dragon and then put it back in the box without being devoured in the process."

I know a very small smattering of southern animal boxing, and know virtually nothing about what I do know*, but I'm curious if these other things are in keeping with your animal boxing:

1)Snake- snake arms are hard to pin down, they always have a way out, movement is always feeling whether with the arms or legs, and the snake is a patterned creature. Snake on the ground is weird, very apt.

2)Monkey- monkey likes to play, and so monkey is ideal against snake, because monkey can play with snake's patterns. I don't understand the eye stuff, but the basic step(the crouched down deal with rear hand sort of leading the step) I get to some extent. Monkey is a violent mofo.

3)Dragon has no weakness(in the context of the animals fighting), except the broad nature of the curriculum, which can devour you. Twisting, don't know much else.

Those are common philosophies describing movement. What I meant by my quote was what My Si-gung called. "unleashing the dragon" The letting go of the human impulse and going totally predatory. Totally "animal". Sometimes its hard to reign in the beast.

I was told at one time that the dragon was all animals. ???

And that there was a pairing between dragon and gold(metal) due to the ability to 'morph' as it were. ???
