Hey man. Have you been watching Jackie Chan movies? You should look and ask around. Why do you want to learn such rare and strange styles?

Many Taiji styles are performed like the snake style, especially the Zhao taiji Style. I would say that your best bet is to find a good Taiji teacher.

I know some people try to specialize in snake, but I am unaware of any true complete snake system. It's usually practiced as a part of Hung Gar or five animal style. In my practice I have only found eight identifyable and usable snake patterns. As preveously mentioned, much of Tai Chi, especially Yang and Sun style is performed like snake.

If you can, you might look up Helen Liang, one of the world's most renown snake specialists and daughter of Granndmaster Liang Shouyu. We carry her snake video - http://store.yahoo.com/martialartsma...snakfisem.html
BTW, Guohuen, I don't really see the snake in Sun Taiji.
