Warrior of the Snake Style

Snake Style monks study the techniques, strategies, forms, and attributes of snakes, applying these fundamentals to martial arts. Practitioners of this style do not necessarily move by slithering about; the goal is not simply to mimic the animal, but to use it as inspiration for their techniques. The style emphasizes flexibility and, above all, rapid, precise strikes aimed at the target's vulnerable points. Snake Style practitioners tend to attack as quickly and early as possible, yet they are not necessarily reckless; they rapidly analyze the enemy for weaknesses and maintain intense focus. There are also those who are more patient, waiting to strike at the perfect moment and catching their opponents off guard.
