The beginning of this form looks a lot like a section of Hung Gar's much longer "Taming The Tiger" form. It almost looks like it was excerpted from the first half of that form, and then modified. It's missing any element of the second half and the bridge training from the beginning is gone, but the whole form is very much in a Hung Gar sort of attitude. Cool.

@big1shoota This is the "Gong Zi Fu Hu Quan" Taming the Tiger set of Lin Jia Kun's Five Animals Hung Fist from Guangdong, brought to Taiwan in the late 1940's and taught at the Taipei Kung Fu Association by Chen Shuei Tsai.

Dont be mean but i just want to now, if i could learn this form by only watching this vid, see, arround here theres no one who could actualy teach kung fu, and this is the closest to it that i can get, so i want to now that if theres any chance that it works

Good moves, very precise. Chineese style, not western.

Hey I learned this in Taiwan, thanks for posting! I heard it's called 工字伏虎拳 (Gong zi fu hu quan) in Taiwan, but others might call it 少林伏虎拳 (Shaolin fu hu quan) or just 伏虎拳.

Nice work. At my kung fu school I learned several techniques you show in this video, mainly the elbow strikes and grapple throws, and leopard strikes, which were taught within the name of "Shoalin kung fu" Most all my footwork and leg strikes are from the Northern Praying Mantis style. Pretty much im saying if there is one style to focus on which has multiple strategies, its Shaolin Kung Fu in itself.

Beautiful form, fast fluid and powerful,I do wish the cameraman had been closer though, some of the hand movements/positions are hard to see from that distance. Very cool vid though, thanks for posting!

yeah my sifu was world champion combat tai chi for several times and he learned an old traditional tiger form in china as well and well when we where sparring and he used tiger i didn't really wanted to get in his way, it's pretty rough but when he uses his tai chi you really don't want to mess with hem. it really hurts :P tiger is more of my specialty and i really love doing it. it really is an intensive internal style, but when it comes to internal nothing beats tai chi.
