Best Kung Fu system?

Hullo
I am just wondering what style/animal system people like
For me I like the Tiger style, as it is the first system I have tried

There is no best.
Different styles for different people.

I enjoy the Snake, leopard, and dragon styles.

I wasn't aware that there was a tiger system, I thought that was incorporated into the 5 animals?

He might actually mean he's doing Hung Gar, but doesn't know or doesn't know the differences.


As for there being individual Tiger styles, 5 Animals is a compilation system that also branches into a complete system for each animal itself, so a complete Tiger style would not be unheard of, depending on it's mother system and if they teach it that way, ours does.

Just a general point of reference.

Kung Fu is not MMA

Actually Fu Jow Pai would probably be considered a sole Tiger style as well as Hak Fu Mun and Shangtung Black Tiger.

Have to agree here. Though if I remember right all three of those are from Shaolin 5 Animal form origianally. Just became a substyle then a style as the years went on.


As Seh and Sammie both have said there is no best. Only one that fits the person best and when it is practiced with Intent. Personally, from what little I know, I am best suited for the Dragon, tiger, karate, and Bak Mei Styles. Basically styles that are classified as hard styles with the exception of dragon, styles that specialize in breaking there opponents through brute force.

I'm still waiting on baited breath to hear what this mysterious Tiger style that Redroosda doesn't even know is, is...
