    On page 118 it mentions a set of techniques called big-taming-tiger.

    The book would make a good xmas present for yourself. They have most the Wing Chun lineages traced all the way down to 1998 when the book was published. It would be nice to know where you fit all that...
    Thanks

    Going to look that form up

    I'll maybe look for the book, see what of money they're going for lol

    You need to sort that, it is year of the tiger after all

    Can only find hung ga forms of the same name, and judging from them there's a lot of tiger in wing chun, certainly.

    defo makes me realise I need to look at more Southern kung fu lol

    I've read that Southern dragon was an influence in the development of wing chun, do you know anything about Southern dragon?

    There are thousands of Southern Dragons. Do you know of any specific videos? The only dragon form I've seen anything remotely similar to Wing Chun type moves is in the salutation to one of Arc Yuen Wong's dragon forms where there's a sequence about 8 of them and I don't know why...

    No, unfortunately most of his forms out there are really watered-down, in large part because he only taught the complete forms to his top students, and various subsets of them to many many others. Every once in while I go for an extensive hunt on YouTube to see if anything good has turned up but rarely find anything but parts...

    on the subject of dragon in wing chun, from what I've read recently, I think it is the twisting and coiling of the body that's the dragon element in wing chun, rather than hand techniques...

    They must be talking more about snake-like dragon forms sort of like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZE8-M65ZT8

    That twisting and coiling is more symmetric, whereas most dragons are usually more spiraling, which is very unlike Wing Chun. Next thing you know, you will be telling me there's some monkey style in Wing Chun, haha

    I would say wing Chuns twisting was more like bagua twisting my self, that being more up right.

    no, no monkey lol.. though I did see fook sau being referred to as monkey paw in a book, which didn't make sense till I seen a monkey punch a guy on the chin after redirecting his hand with a fook sau lol
