It also has tiger and crane movements like Hung Gar, (See “What is Hung Gar Kung Fu” to read more) but also snake, leopard and dragon. The snake uses fingertip thrusts to soft, vital areas, and hand formations that characterize the serpent’s forked tongue or head. The leopard uses fore knuckle strikes that imitate the animal’s paw. And the dragon uses open claw techniques, whipping back fists that symbolize a thrashing tail, and scissors stance techniques that imitate the twisting maneuvers of a dragon.
