Interesting. But you do know about the other character. How did you know about that one?

Also, tiger cub doesn't seem to make much sense. There is already tiger so why would someone include an animal that is just the juvenile version of another animal?

Just doesn't seem to add up.

I searched for Biu, picked the one that translated to tiger cub and compared it to the script. The tiger cub form is supposed to be much quicker and more agile than the tiger form, with less obvious force.

When you say script are you looking at a scan of the original script or a translated version?

Follow the link Original script in Chan Yiu Chi's handwriting.

Hmm, how annoying.
Go to http://www.plumblossom.net/PhotoAlbu...uiscripts.html
and then click on Tiger Cub Form.

Well I'll be d@mned. Not sure then, you might want to bring it up with the Chen Yong Fa crowd or XJ if you feel inclined.

I remember discussing the animals a long time ago with Howard Choy who is a long time student of both Chan Yong Fa and Li Iu Ling. He said that the biu animal was in fact a deer. For what its worth, he gave me a list of the animals and never mentioned anything about a tiger cub.

I was looking through a list of TSPK forms Sifu Chow Keung showed me, and noticed a form named Cat Fist (not cat claw). He told me its more suited for girls but we got interupted and he never finished the story. Maybe some of the TSPK guys who0uld know more.

You may wish to contact Coach Ross with that one. He was good buddies with Chan Tai San. Grandmaster Sensei didn't teach us Cat Fist--or perhaps I just haven't learned it yet.

I think that the cat form is a Jeong Hung Sing branch form, not practiced by Chen Yong Fa branch.
That was what I found out when I researched all the forms in CLF from different branches.
