i was jus curious.. wing chun is snake and crane. jow ga is tiger and leopard. what is CLF(if anything)? jus curious
I’ve always thought of it as leopard and crane in terms of hand techniques. The tiger, snake and dragon don’t play as prominent a role in this sense. Of course I’ve also hear people say that CLF has the elephant, which moves like the Sao Chuei emulate. But in terms of Shaolin animals I think the leopard and crane.
Anyone care to agree or disagree?
Fu-Pow, I’m in agreement with you on the leopard and crane being among the most prominent of the fighting hand techniques I would add that the tiger comes a close third. In my lineage the tiger claw is use to a certain extent in fighting and self-defence although not as much as chap, sao, pow, bien, kup and gwa.
