Any experience with Lung Ying/Dragon Style? Can anyone share their experiences with dragon style kung fu? Is there a reason why it has a legendary status in history, aside from dragons being mystical deities of nature? Can anyone suggest some good sources to learn more about dragon style, aside from wiki? Thanks in advance! 1 9 commentsLam Yiu Gwai.

Lung Ying. The movements of the Dragon style "dragon shape rubbing bridges") are based on the mythical Chinese dragon. It is characterized by extremely quick, long-distance strikes from above. There are five Animals of Shaolin Boxing; the other four styles are Tiger, Crane, Leopard, and Snake. Dragon style has roots in Hakka Kuen.
The roots of Dragon style kung fu ('long ying' or 'lung ying' in Chinese) can be traced to the Haushoutai temple on Loufwushan mountain. Dragon style was taught to its monks within the temple to enhance their superior fighting skills, spirit and internal development.
Which of the two names of this martial art is correct: Lung Ying or Lung Xing? The first meaning Dragon's Shadow, the second meaning Dragon's Shape.
