Not directly, but since much of our system has origins in Chinese Gung Fu, and we study Hung Gar at the same school, we are able to view our art with more understanding of the animal style origins than if we did not.

With respect,

The crane is used alot in my system but since my karate is mainly based on Shorin Ryu I have not formally been taught the animals. I did know what they were at one time but I am drawing a blank right now. I need to check my notes.

My system goes through elemental training, not animal training. But that does sound interesting.

I train a system called Kamite-Ryu Karate-Jutsu. It is rooted in Shorin-Ryu. Anyway all Martial arts of Shuri Origin have Monk fist, and White Crane. Most notably White Crane. If you examine the Kata it is very evident and quite noticable.

My challenge to you is to find the Crane in your favorite kata. So many people claim to know the origin of their art but don't unserstand it.

Let have fun with this. Find the Crane in the Bunkai of your favorite kata. Even Shotokan as changed as their kata are there is still Crane in the Bunkai.

Yours in the Martial Arts

From memory,

In Kyokushin we have Neikoashi (Cat), Tsuruashi (Crane), and Garyu (Dragon) stances.
