    Community Answer
    One of the most-used tactics in the drunken forms is pretending that you can not get up, e.g., pretend that you were pushing up using your hand and then slump on the ground. It's very convincing, and most importantly, prepare your leg for a thrusting kick if your opponent decides to engage in fighting. This move is called "Drunken Monkey Thrusts His Leg".

  • Question
    I am a novice. Do you think I can learn drunken kung fu from online sources?
    Community Answer
    It will be best to seek a teacher to teach you this style. But if you have no other choice, then be cautious when attempting it at home. You can learn, but without someone to guide your technique and point out any mistakes you might be making, you'll likely have to unlearn bad habits and form you've developed should you pursue formal training; this can be much more difficult than learning proper technique from the beginning.
