SCWC is a Taoist inspired
ancient fighting System. It is the manifestation of Taoist principles in his
two kind of hands.
Taoism is based on the
Yin and Yang principles and their correlations
In SCWC The Snake hand
represent the Yin aspect, it’s smooth, adaptable and taking the shape of any
object it contacts.
The Crane hands
represent the Yang Aspect. Solid, strong and it allows withstanding incoming
force.
In the Taoist way, Yin
contains Yang and Yang Contains Yin.
The same is on the
snake Hands they have Speed and big range of motions wich is more a Yang aspect.
The Crane Hand (Arm)
has to have great flexibility and harmony between the arm, body and floor to
can absorb and release great power witch is more Yin Aspect.
Only if we can combine these two different
hands we can rich the harmony between Yin and Yang
Then we can be able to
use SCWC in a real fight
In this video you can
see a discussion around these principles that I realise with my students in
France last Year
The video is in French
with English subtitle.
