Rep Power: 21 | | | What Animal do you clasify yourself as ?
Just thought of this one.
As we all know, animals are a huge if not one of the most important influences in Kung fu and other martial arts.
What animal do you classify yourself as?
Not just the way you defend yourself, but the way you act?
Myself:
Still Tiger ... sigh
I often act without thought (as my teacher tells me).
I act alot on emotion and how I feel at the moment, sometimes not thinking enough of what I'm saying or how my body language is. As mine is often agressive.
My self defence ... now leans towards dragon. Using my knowledge to dictact my actions, instead of destroying someone ... I often can control and get compliance from my attacker... through pain of course.
when I'm confronted by multiple... I'm tiger. I do hurt people.
Learning from yourself and taking in account others opinions of you is important in learning and changing.
This is harder for some of us than others (myself included), but the key is to Learn and grow.
Regards,
Eric

Rep Power: 31 | | | Tiger. Although I'm a small person. . . . I really need to work on being Panther better.
I'm violent by nature, rash, aggressive, and still have some anger issues I need to work out. When I fight I seek to destroy my opponent. I don't really care about my own safety or my opponents, I train for physical strength and explosive power, and I seek to overwhelm and overpower my opponents in a raw, physical level.
I do not have the patience to go for Chi Na, Chi Sau, Trapping etc simply because I'd rather use bridges such as Poon Kiu or bridge with Gwa Choys, Kup Choys and just proceed to continuously pound the crap out of someone.

Rep Power: 220 | | | As I said, Snake.
Strongly intuitive, calculating, passionate, wise, lethal.
When it comes to fighting, Snake works very well for me not only in fighting style but in personal characteristics as well, it watches and waits untill an opening or opportunity presents itself and then launches fast destructive attacks to destroy an opponent whilst not leaving an opening for an opponent to take advantage of, unless we want to lure them in with deception to give them a false sense of advantage before closing the trap to crush them.
Snake is more lethal than Tiger and add to that thinking and observation, so that it calculates what to do and where/how to do it to get the most of its attacks. So in a way it's a combination of Dragon/Tiger, but still all its own.
