The Dragon style is smooth and flowing. The body is kept loose and relaxed throughout. Often movement are
first practiced as very large and sweeping, as the student learns to coordinate the entire body into one movement, and then
made gradually smaller and faster as the stuent develops. The dragon style is more 'internal' than other styles, meaning that
it does not rely on muscular strength or fitness as much as other styles, and for this reason it is often favoured by old
masters to beat younger, stronger opponents.
