Shaolin Tiger Boxing

[infinet]

Does anyone know of any websites with info about Shaolin Tiger Boxing?

[David Jamieson]

shaolin tiger boxing is a fairly nebulous term.

the tiger is a framework model that several styles use.
For instance, Hung Gar, Southern Shaolin (generic), 5 animals, and others all have tiger style within them as either foundations , subsets or the entire system.

shaolin tiger boxing in and of itself would be a part of a larger style/system or can be a style on it's own. I haven't heard of it being an exclusive style, but definitely tiger is incorporate into shaolin kung fu as well as other non shaolin styles.

as for sites dealing with tiger, try any number of hung gar or hung related sites, or black tiger sites or 5 animals sites, etc etc.

cheers

should've provided a little more info.

I know that its based on the Shaolin Quan style, and its founder was a pupil of Chee Soo. He called the style Atado Tiger Boxing.

Unfortunatley thats all i got :(

[David Jamieson]

Based on the Shaolin Quan style, Master Lee modified the kicks and blocks making them faster and more affective

:rolleyes:

[David Jamieson]

well to make a kick/punch or block faster and more effective is a matter of practice and use.

I don't think the Shaolin arts need to much "modifying", after all as far as I know the human form is the same as it ever was and the shaolin spent a few centuries refining the martial arts to begin with. how much more modification is required i wonder.

anyway, ght, your rolling eyes point is taken :D
