The Five AnimalsJow Gar Kung Fu Has its roots firmly planted in the Shaolin temples. The shaolin five animals consist of dragon, tiger, snake, crane and leopard. Each animal has characteristics that provide the practitioner with an array of offensive and defensive techniques. Animal Style Kung Fu mimicks the natural movements, attacks and defensive postures that animals use so effectively in the wild.Only through a mastery of each of these animals can one hope to become a complete kung-fu stylist. DragonThe Chinese dragon represents internal strength.the Chinese dragon is a mystical creature that can show itself to those he wants, especially to those who have reached the highest levels of enlightenment. TigerThe Shaolin Monks adopted the spirit of the tiger for its courage, strength and power. Because its energy is external in nature, the energy of the tiger is different from the other animals. SnakeThe snake movements are important for developing qi The snake's spirit is calm and deliberate and once the practitioner develops the proper energy, his strikes are focused and lightning-fast. CraneThe crane is known for its longevity. Crane techniques are circular in nature, The crane Movements allow a practitioner to deliver flowing, relaxed power as well as sudden and focused attacks. LeopardThe leopard's fierce and ferocious power yields only to that of the tiger. The leopard relies on a lightning-fast, powerful force that is produced from relaxed, whip-like techniques. It is important for the practitioner to develop a flexible waist, which allows him to develop quick footwork and explosive strikes. |
