The document introduces some basic techniques of Snake Crane Wing Chun, which take influences from the snake and crane. It describes several hand techniques that demonstrate snake-like and crane-like motions, including Tan Sau, Lan Sau, Fok Sau and Lap Sau for the snake, as well as Ton Kiu, Guan Sau and Bong Sau for the crane. The techniques are intended to stick or trap the opponent's hands in a snake-like manner or withstand attacks in a crane-like way. Snake Crane Wing Chun incorporates many of these snake and crane form-based techniques into its three hand form sets.

Introduction to Snake Crane Wing Chun Hand’s techniques
Wayne K. W. Yung
蛇鶴詠春拳法基本慨念是「蛇纏鶴頂」，所謂「蛇纏」是粘貼或困梆對手橋手而使其
攻擊或防守活動受阻，而「鶴頂」抵禦對手用橋或腳猛烈攻來的勁力。蛇鶴詠春把蛇
跟鶴的形態應用於手法上，所以三套拳都有很多蛇跟鶴的形態招式出現。
Snake Crane Wing Chun basic concept is ‘snake reel and crane withstand’. Snake reel is to
stick or trap the opponents bridge hands and make their attack or defense activities being
blocked. Crane withstand is to resist opponents violent attack by the momentum built up on
hand bridge or foot. Snake Crane Wing Chun demonstrates both the snake and crane motions
in the hand forms so that the three hand form sets have a lot of snake and crane moves.
蛇鶴詠春跟很多習詠春拳者都承認「詠春拳」招式是從「蛇鶴爭暉」而來的，到底何
謂蛇鶴爭暉呢？就是蛇跟鶴各自各把最好的顯露出來，所以蛇鶴詠春拳自創拳以來就
有很多基本蛇鶴形態的招式。蛇的形態手法，如攤手、攔手、擸手及及鶴的形態，如
吞橋、耕手及膀手等。以下將介紹數下蛇鶴詠春有蛇鶴形態的招式手法。
Like other Wing Chun tributaries, Snake Crane Wing Chun admits that "Wing Chun" moves
come from the "Snake and Crane competing their the best” 「蛇鶴爭暉」. What is really
meant by the "Snake and Crane competing their the best”? Snakes and cranes all the best are
to be revealed in Snake Crane Wing Chun, so that there are a lot of the moves of the basic
form of snake and crane. The snake has morphological techniques, such as TanSau, LanSau,
FokSau and LapSau etc, while the crane has morphological techniques, such as TonKiu,
GuanSau and BongSau etc. The following briefly describes several techniques of the snake
and crane motions under the Snake Crane Wing Chun.

2. 蛇的手法：
蛇的手法：
Snake’s hand techniques:
攤手：
攤手：如蛇頭反轉、肚向天，食指向地，從腰間中移向中線，再從中線往外伸出作中
途攔截。
TanSau(Palm side up): The palm side up(snake head reversed) moves from the side of
waist to the centerline of the body. Then moves and extends outwards to block the
opponent’s bridge along the centerline.
攤手 TanSau(Palm side up)

3. 攔手：
攔手：如蛇頭從中線快速往外伸出作中途攔截，手掌搭在對方橋手上。（姊妹手：伏
手）
LanSau(Blocking hand): The palm like a snake head moves from the side of the waist to the
centerline of the body and extends outwards to block directly the opponent’s bridge
hand(Sister’s hand : FokSau) along the centerline.
攔手 LanSau(Blocking hand)

4. 伏手：
伏手：手掌如蛇頭從中線快速往內伸出作中途攔截，手掌伏在對方橋手上。（姊妹
手：攔手）
FokSau(Lying hand): the palm moves out from the centerline, such as the snakehead going
quickly outwards, blocking and lying on the opponent’s bridge hand(Sister hand: LanSau).
伏手 FokSau(Lying hand)

5. 擸手：
擸手：由攤手轉攔手手，張開手指如蛇開大口，再用手指抓緊，後再拖，這招式有如
蛇攤出去阻攔擸物，反轉，張開大口，手指散開並屈曲如蛇的牙齒，抓下如蛇牙咬擸
物，當蛇咬到擸物後就會拖，所以最後手法就是要往後拉，整個動作就完成。
LapSau(Grabbing hand): TanSau turned around or LanSau, the fingers of the palm with the
thumb pointing to the ground are opened, like the snake opening the mouth. Use the fingers
to grab and to hold the target, and then pull back. This technique likes the snake head
reversing to block the target, turniing around, opening its big mouth, spreading the fingers
and grabbing the target, like snake’s teeth. Grabbing likes the snake teeth biting the target.
As the snake bites the target, it will pull the target backward. That’s why the last motion of
the techniques is pulling back. The whole portfolio complete.
擸手 LapSau(Grabbing hand)

6. 鶴的手法：
鶴的手法：
Crane’s hand techniques:
吞橋：
吞橋：前臂與後臂摺曲成直角，手掌攤直成昭陽掌，從腰間沿中線 45 度向天上前插，

TonKiu(Swallow bridge): forearm and arm bend at right angle. The palm keeps straight
into the the Zhaoyang palm, and runs forward along the centerline with 45 degrees from the
waist to the sky to block the opponent’s bridge along the centerline.(Sister hand: pillow hand).

7. 耕手：
耕手：手 45 度向外及 45 度向左（右手）或向右（左手）插下去，如耕田拿著用牛拖

來的強肢。
GuanSau(Cultivating hand): hand with 45 degrees extends outwards and with 45 degrees to
the left (right hand) or right (left hand) extends downwards, such as farming taking the oxen
dragged the mud. Hand from one side of waist to the other side downwards 45-degree to
block the strong limb’s attack from the lower part of the body.

8. 膀手：
膀手：上臂向前與身體維持 45 度，前臂與後臂摺曲成 135 度，手掌與前臂再摺 135
