Our new book is the first in-depth study of one of Xing Yi's twelve animals to be published in English. Illustrated with more than 400 photographs, this substantial reference work covers spear, sword, needles and bare-hand applications of Xiong Ying Xing, together with linking sequences, applications, applications of Bear Eagle variants within An Shen Bao, and extensive background information. There is also a glossary of more than 200 Chinese technical terms.
Please note that this book is not suitable for beginners - it is not an instructional text, but a reference manual for existing practitioners of at least intermediate level who are already studying under an experienced teacher.

That's what I'm talking about. Graham knows.
LXL, Check again you next Tiger show on Discovery Channel or something. The classics say that it looks like a tiger pouncing on a 'Lamb'. Lambs are smaller, so the Tiger falls on them to bite them. It always launches itself with both paws to the front, covering its head. Check a cat catching a mouse for a closer reference.

Rep Power: 38 | | A quick google search revealed this:
"Principally, tigers are nocturnal hunters although in protected areas away from human intervention the animal is often active during the day. Although habitat dictates the type of animal that it hunts, the tiger prefers larger prey, such as wild boar, buffalo and deer, but also hunts fish , monkeys and various small mammals if it preferred food source is unavailable. The tiger is often regarded as a cautious hunter, stalking as close as it can to the rear its prey before making the final charge. Depending on the size of its prey the tigers killing bite is usually to the throat or neck of its victim - with smaller animals a bite to the neck is often sufficient to sever the spinal chord, whilst with larger prey the throat bite is preferred, gripping the animal until it finally suffocates. " http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/agarman/bco/tiger.htm
Obviously the people who wrote the 'classics' never saw a real tiger, or at least did, but didnt live long enough to write about it.... |

Rep Power: 6 | | | heh...sure, the same cat.
Anyway, it stalks calmly, it charges, it pounces and it bites the neck right just skip the biting part and focus on the intention of the tiger, what it thinks just before it bites.
Lions are a little more sloppy. And tigers are mainly asian, u really think chinese never saw a tiger before, back then when tigers were like 10 times the population it is today

If I say: Push: "Well, it's not really a push, you know"
If I say Press: "it's not pressing"
What should I say, Pounce
That's why I'm a visual guy....images clear things up. LXL, If you and I were in front of each other, you'd have understood what I wanted to say a long time ago. We would've drinking beer by now
