Well in the Shaolin system I am training in the animals would be Crane, Snake, Dragon , Tiger , Leapord. Mantis and Monkey were not created by Shaolin Monks, however I do believe the originator of the Mantis style became a Monk at Shaolin after he demonstrated his style in a match against the Shaolin Martial Monks( he had lost two previous fights and went back to train).
My favortie animal would be the Crane because I am a small , agile guy . Also because it is graceful and the movements are soft and flowing.
I've not witnessed much of the Leapord style so I can't say much about it, allthough it is fascinating.
Take care.

I personally don't know any of the particular styles myself, i study Wing Chun, though I'm not up to the 3rd form yet, I've heard that the Biu Jee form has many snake movements incorporated. So i sorta look forward to progressing to that.

Really thats wrong, the Leapord is stronger and faster than the tiger even though the tiger is larger , not to argue ...

I think Tiger is the strongest and fiercest animal, but Dragon is the most powerful. Leopard is based on speed and agility

.. but I saw a documentary recently where a guy had actually mastered a duck style, and he did waddle. Bit of a strange style but he seemed to like it.

Tiger is good because of it's devastating power and spirit. In order for a person to master the tiger you must first reach the spirit of the tiger.

if you train doggie style be careful not to fall behind in class
still...you will develop a viscous arsenal of weapons :)

haha hey i did not know that there was a waddling duck style. hee hee,,,,,,
well i started with praying mantis. that has always been a good one for me,,but i started to like the drunken system. i like them all in fact.
i feel that i am most proficient in mantis. although i have been known to play around with the drunk style and blend the two( i think that there are drunken mantis forms but i have not learned any) i like the stickyness and close quarters of the mantis style(southern). when i think of the menatlity of the mantis i think of insect mentality and i immediately go to the movie "Alien".....that thing had no emotion and just attacked and wham,,you were mince meat. i find mantids to be very dangerous critters,,seeing them first hand attack prey and devour them(like wang lang did in the ancient past)any way thats my thing.

I like snake. It's so quick and vicious. That, and I love point strikes with two fingers :eek:

After that, Monkey is great to watch, and my size makes me good at it. Then comes Crane, which I enjoy as well due to my small size and speed. Final is tiger, which just has agressivity and power in loads.

That's it from the seeker.

I'd have to say crane for elegance and monkey for just amazing skill.

I just started in January so that is all that I can go by. It is a great style. I started out woth two friends, they do not practice now :D They claimed that it was not KARATE, the form was to open ( iguess they meant that they were not blocking at every move :) Then the truth came out, It's too hard man!!! I still practice and yes it is too hard, but that's the beuty of it. mind you I am about 100 lbs over weight. I LOVE IT!
