Shaolin Kung Fu Combat Styles: 18. drunken form (醉拳: zui quan)

instructor: monk Heng Xin __________________ - combat strategy: the drunken style teaches “misguiding“ the opponent. its main tactics are: tactic 33 - “sowing discord tactic (反间计)“: your moves should follow no standards. abnormal moves from unlikely angles confuse the opponent. tactic 34 - “be wise, play foolish (假痴不癫)“: what you intend and pretend should be different. pretend abnormality, like being drunk. tactic 35 - “toss a brick to take gem (抛砖引玉)“: expose parts of your body as bait to lure the opponent target there. as defense, this can save you by luring the opponent away from his own plan and, as offense, can trap the opponent by luring him into your ambush. tactic 36 - “self-infliction tactic (苦肉计)“: pretend weakness and/or injury. these make the opponent underestimate and so loosen guard or ambushed.
