    Default Dragon Elephant Prana Skill

    What is it exactly. Is it something more akin to 9YinZJ or is it a pure energy generating thing like 9YangZJ. And what are the characteristics of it, like is it Yin or Yang, Hard or Soft etc.

    It seems to me that it's an internal energy skill mainly, since it doesn't seems to be any sort of technique. It was able to generate an enormous amount of power for GLFW, so I don't think that it's too yin.

    It was primarily an enormously powerful internal energy generator. Personally, I think that his internal energy, after it, made the pure strength of his palms unmatched, even by Yang Guo. After all, Zhou Botong fought JLFW after fighting YG, and still thought that he had 'never seen palm strength as powerful as JLFW's.'

    it contains techniques on palms as well, when he fought against yang guo and dragon girl he used a mammoth palm (or something),there are specific palm strikes within elephant dragon skills and the wheel were the weapon part of his elephant dragon skills(or a complementing skill).

    Hmm, so is it comparable to the other top art in ROCH the 9 Yin Zhen Jing? I mean at least in the energy generating dept. Or a better comparison, 9 Yang?

    more like a mixture of mid-level shaolin skills and dragon palms. elephant dragon dexerty skill is an incredibly powerful skill, but it is difficult to master to the top level,[ kind of like yiyingji]. the tibeten diamond school probably have a type of inner inner practise that they use for the elephant dragon skill separate from the skill itself(like hong qigong has inner energy practise in his school separate from dragon taming palms). the skill is more technique to unlease power [like ming sect qiankian reversal] but needs high inner energy to use.

    From some sources, it is said that the original name in Sanskrit of Dragon Elephant Palms is Naga Palms.

    I don't know about the origin, Sanskrit maybe, but in Malay and Indonesian language, Dragon is Naga.

    in india nagas are these half man half snake peole who could be cmlete snake or human in form, they had magic abilities and lived in the laks and seas, the king naga(rajanaga) could control rain and water and could sit fire from his mouth. it is said that the idea for the chinese dragon originated from the naga myth when buddhism sread to china and japan, the dragon did not exist in taoism before that. it was adopted into taosim later.

    But chinese ppl are descendants of the dragon.....my teacher once said that the kings of China thought that they were descendants of the dragon. And they also say that alot in serials etc etc.

    in the history of any country, all kings compare themselves to to animals that are considered mighty or holy. the dragon in china, korea and japan(where the emporer is 'the son of heaven'). the lion, elephant and tiger in india, malaysia and asia. richard the 'lion heart' in england. the vikings compared themselves to wolves and bears for their savagery and strenght.don't mean they were really those things, just propaganda(no offence, can't thing of a better word). anyway, check your ancient history and you'll probably find that china became a dragon nation a bit after buddhism arrived there. or the naga dragon arrived before buddhism from other sources in the west. anyway the dragon emerged from the western regions in china before the was 'china' when it was the 'central plains'
