虎錚連環: Continuous Tiger Elbow

The Tiger Claw Kung Fu System is extremely diverse in its approach and variety of techniques and strategies for fighting. Aside from the most obvious and common empty hand and foot techniques found in many systems, the Tiger Claw System utilizes a myriad of other techniques. These techniques range from long to medium to short. In the category of short techniques or in-fighting, one of the predominant techniques is the 虎爪錚 (Fu Jow Jiang) or Tiger Claw Elbow.Show more

The Tiger Claw Elbow is unique in the sense that it can be used for simultaneous attack and defense no matter what the movement of the opponent is, and is short and fast which makes it very difficult to defend against. When bent, the elbow is one of the most powerful parts of the body and has a tremendous power focused in a very small area. The unique application of the Tiger Claw Elbow is its ability to trap the opponent’s technique, thereby breaking into his posture to crash him and break him open.
