Fangs. Accuracy. Venomous. Neurotoxins. Death. The King Cobra can be as much as 18 feet in length and lift itself off the ground erectly one-third its length, hiss and attack with a bite of venom that can easily kill a man. In Bando, cobras will offer quick strikes, evasive steps and parrying (as opposed to blocking) to very refined targets. The small weapons of finger knuckles, finger tips, elbow tips, and toes are delivered in a whip-like manner to vital targets such as the eyes, throat, groin and nerve centers. Quickness, timing and accuracy are a must to have a strike be properly executed without damaging the "fangs". Cobra kicks primarly use the tip of the big toe, instep, and heel to make contact.
The cobra uses a long range fighting strategy with a series of parries and holds before the pressure point is stuck and the opponent passes out. Bando cobras use deception through stepping and feinting, circular hand motions which allow him a counter attack against an opponent and his weapon. If you are quick, agile, of slender build, have good, small muscle coordination, sharp reflexes, are perceptive and patient, you may be a Band Cobra, waiting.
