Wu Tao Kung Fu ( Splashing Hands ) ( Exclusive )
By Kuseru

Splashing Hands, developed at a Shaolin Temple in the late 1700's is a grappling range fighting system of kung fu taught to those monks who were in charge of guarding the temple gates.

Splashing Hands, named for the way the hands move as if one is shaking water from them, is prized for its hand and footwork and its simultaneous offensive and defensive techniques. Because Splashing Hands is an infighting system, the attacker must maintain grappling range. Blocks and strikes along with the rolling hands technique entice the opponent into an attack and pull him off balance. When an opponent attempts to withdraw from combat, a master stay in range striking with jabs, punches, elbows and uppercuts. Once the opponent goes down a master continues attacking until the opponent has been subdued.
