so smart!

When the eagle claw gate and the snake-shaped gate fought for the prestige of the martial art at the beginning, I found that the

kung fu hand shape of the eagle claw gate was hook-shaped, resembling an eagle claw, so it was more restrictive. Belongs to defensive kung fu.
The kung fu hand of the snake-shaped door is straight, like a snake head, flexible and aggressive. Belongs to offensive kung fu.

From a physical point of view, snake boxing is more prone to injury.
In the comparison between the two, I think Eagle Claw Boxing is even better.
Imagine that both types of boxing are open and close. When the snake boxing attacks, the exposed parts of the body also increase, providing the opponent with sneak attacks, especially when the Eagle Claw boxing is attacked by defense. Therefore, the Eagle Claw Gate can use your hand to clamp the opponent's wrist to limit the snake-shaped fist attack, and then use the elbow to attack its upper body, abdomen, chest or head, and then lift the foot to attack its lower plate, groin, and legs. More powerful players can also step on the opponent's foot to limit the snake-like dodge footwork.

In this way, the Serpentine has no chance to attack, and no advantage at all.



But Jackie Chan is really smart!

He actually watched the cat catch the snake and invented the combination of cat claw fist and snake fist: snake! shape! carry! hand!

In this way, cat claw fist can be defended, snake fist can be attacked, coupled with flexible footwork, isn't it much more powerful!
When attacking with eagle claw fists, you can use cat claws to hold down the attack, and take advantage of the opportunity to hit the opponent's part that is not defensive due to punching. With agile footwork, you can even trip the opponent, and then fall to the ground in a serpentine shape. He fist violently, he must be blind and deaf, vomiting blood and death within ten minutes!
If it is the eagle claw fist defense, the cat claw can also resist, and then the snake quickly follows up, hit him by surprise, and wins!


BTW The background music is really good! Especially where it ends! Although there are minor injuries in the plot, the martial arts scenes are quite exciting, but the dubbing is rather cheating.

Russian missionaries are very cute: "Believe in Jesus and live forever!"
