White Crane Gongfu

The Crane is a weak animal without much strength to use in fighting. However, when necessary, it can defend itself very effectively. A Crane defending itself relies on only three things: the ability to jump, the breaking power of its wings, and the pecking of the beak. Jumping is used to dodge an attack and also to approach the opponent for its own attack. When a Crane uses its wings to strike, it can generate enough power to break a large branch. The key to this kind of power is speed. Remember that even though water is soft, when squirted out fast enough it can be used in place of a knife in surgical operations. Finally, the speed and accuracy with which a Crane can peck with its beak is very effective for attacking vital areas. This survival skill is useful in another way, because the Crane uses its beak to catch fish.
