虎凭豺狼: Ravenous Tiger Takes You

If we look at this installment of Tiger Claw form, we see a number of techniques being used to accomplish the task. Unlike the previous week where we concentrated on short-hand strikes, this compilation has a broad variety of movements, from mid to long, striking, clawing and rapidly changing footwork.

The term "虎凭豺狼" is quite a unique term to translate into something easily understood in the English language. As we have said before, literal translation or interpretation of Kung Fu terminology and techniques can get you into a bit of trouble or totally lost all together. Broken down, the name of our technique loosely translates to, “The Tiger utilizes the jackal and wolf.” This means the techniques of the Tiger and/or Tiger Claw System of Kung Fu use the speed and ruthlessness of the jackal, the intelligence and cruelty of the wolf, as well as the power and ferocity of the Tiger. All these blend together to make for a ravenous, unstoppable combination of techniques!
