Learn how to come up with different ideas, and figure out which solution is the best. Monkey Body Mechanic Lesson: Quick Turns Old Saying in Martial Arts: "Turn Like a Monkey" Because Monkeys can stand on two legs, they can pivot quickly in place. Animals with four legs cannot do this. Instead, four legged animals must make a u-turn, or small circle, to turn around. This gives monkeys, and humans, a huge advantage against charging animals. Monkey Drills: "Monkey Turns" The Monkey teaches dynamic leaping skills. The Monkey Turns are ways to quickly turn to face someone attacking you from the side, or rear, and defend yourself at the same time. These are great self defense skills that can help you survive a surprise attack. Monkey Moves: Leaping Monkey Attack Monkeys are very dangerous and strong. The Monkey fighting moves are a set of 4 exercises. A powerful pull down, a strong palm strike, and a special quick turn, and a huge leaping attack with combined palm and knee strikes. These four exercises are combined into one exciting sequence that loops back and forth. This Fu Book has photos of all the Monkey Moves and Drills.
