MenteReligieuse Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 My favorite would have to be Mantis, because of the lightning quick strikes and counters, good use of vital points (those little mantis hooks!) and I beleive it to be quite an aggresive style yet leaves very litte openings in your defense.

Red J Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I like leopard for the following reasons: Fits my body type uses angles quick multiple strikes and kicks can hit in motion soft targets (ribs, neck, joints, etc) builds agility and speed I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.

Hudson Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Dragon forms are my favorite. Dragon usually encompasses animals like tiger and snake, and is what I call a "smarter" kung fu. The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47MartialMan Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I have heard, that not anyone can practice a specific animal style due to physique and body developments. However, I cannot pick one, but six, for each I have a appreciation for. Tiger, Snake, Crane, Dragon, Mantis, and Monkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuMan Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Might as well go for the highest level one in the list and that is the Dragon. The Dragon exponent possesses incredible internal energy and can "disappear" and "appear" before you (complex and advanced footwork) and then he will hit and that will be THE END.

Having said that, I have read about the Dragon in various magazines and would like to read more about this style. Please name me the book, and tell me if you think it is worth buying.
