[mysteri]

i was jus curious.. wing chun is snake and crane. jow ga is tiger and leopard. what is CLF(if anything)? jus curious

[Fu-Pow]

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.
