I would have to go with the snake here, as said earlier, the snake is very observant. it strikes at the most opportune moment with devastating effect. also being very fast and agile, the can move extremely quickly to avoid capture.
AS I said in another thread I am much more like a bear than anything else. However the two styles I have always wanted to dive into are Dragon and Tiger. Both these styles are very hard styles that destroy the opponent. While one cultivates inner power and physical fitness and the other cultivates external power and physical fitness....Im all for that combo.
I am like leopard. I'm not a physically imposing person or very strong in any case. I can't be like Tiger, if I rush headlong into combat I might as well be called a retard (and get my ass kicked).
I use my speed to my advantage, I have to use guile and strategy to attack my opponent. CLF fits me very well; angular attacks and fast, hard hits, and quick penetrating blows also.
I think our animal is primarily style, second body type and third personality. I'm sure if I studied SPM I would classify myself as "mantis."

Just because you're using Tiger Claw doesn't necessarily equate to a more solid "Tiger" mindset or body movement.
Tiger typically emphasizes Gum Jing (hard/metal energy) and a locked waist. If you want "classical Tiger" look at Hung Kuen and no more.
CLF is more about the suppleness and deceptive movement, as well as more speed and strikes. If I get a chance I'll show you some forms such as Fu-Pau Kuen or whatnot, they are supposed to have Tiger in them but the truth is there is very little "classical" Tiger in the case of Hung Kuen or other system that use "harder" energy. (I know stupid generic terms).

No, what happens is someone votes on the poll without posting a message.
