I still don't get why crane form is so popular here, no offence to crane users but I do think that crane form are those relatively weak animal forms and does seems to be as effective as others. I maybe wrong because I am not familiar with animal forms.

still waiting for the day when people who actually know about these things would come here and talk about it......

 

just a little request.

 

i know i'm not anyone special and shouldn't really be making requests,

 

but if you're going to ask a question about tiger or crane or whatever, can you make your question more specific?

 

asking about a tiger style is almost as bad as asking what kung fu is like.

 

there is more than one tiger style.

 

in fact, there are more than one of each of the animal styles.

 

ddepending on what school the form/method you are asking about comes from, the answer will be different and sometimes, even the same sschool will have different aspects of the same animal in different forms.

 

e.g

 

the dragon techinques from hung gar's 'fu hok sueng ying' are different to the dragon techniques from their 'ng ying'.

post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are.

basically, leopard is as aggresive as tiger, but will give up powerfull strikes and stable stances for more explosiveness and faster/more strikes.

 

but yeah, druken monkey is right, there are more than 1 set of styles but that is the differences in what I learn.

Step of the bear and strike like a tiger. " Strike like a tiger" doesn't mean our strike are in tiger form but rather just fourious like a tiger.

Bajiquan - the art of moving like a bear and striking like a tiger. The 1st thing to learn is the 熊步 Bear Step, in which one slowly walks in a low crouch. At any one time our body weight should be almost totally on the leg in front, and our spines upright. Sway your hands lightly as you move, as if you're a bear.
