The funny thing is that I have a 5 animal article in the works. I'm not sure I can work that line in, given the tone of it, but I will give it a shot. No promises there.
g_w: As for Eagle Claw, while it does have a lot of
qinna in it, but I wouldn't classify it as a groundfighting grappling style like the rest that you mention. Given the arena of UFC, it lends itself to groundfighting. Eagle Claw qinna locks are more standing upper body locks and throws, not so much about the groundfighting. After all, eagles fly. They don't wrestle. Your question might be better phrased with Dog boxing than eagle, since that's more ground oriented. Now there's been increasing interest in Dog as the 'Chinese response' to the current fad of groundfighting. As I've mentioned before, we ran an article on dog in our
Shaolin special 2005 that was very well recieved, mostly for this reason, I'd say. Unfortunately, dog is fairly rare. I've only seen a very limited amount of demostrations of it - I'm hoping to see more.
