I was reading this online article of Kung Fu, and in the Southern Snake Kung Fu section it says that this style or system favors techniques such as drawing on the influence from the cobra. It concentrates it strikes on nerves and pressure points. It's hand technique is a open hand with the thumb curled underneath, this position is said to keep a "dynamic tension", which is a characteristic of the cobra. What is dynamic tension, and why is it important in this system?
