Internal Aspects of Wing Chun

[T.D.O]

What a tune-in, I just stumbled across The Complete Wing Chun book a few minutes ago for $5 in a used book store. Was skimming it and noticed that not only are the usual crane and snake attributed to influencing its development but also tiger, eagle-claw and mantis, but the only overlap I've noticed before is with snake...

Where do you see "tiger" in wing chun?

Where do you see "tiger" in wing chun?

Pages 101 and 118, although the they could just as well be defenses against tiger. I have done tiger kung fu for about 40 years and have not seen overlap with Wing Chun, but can imagine that Wing Chun could use some way of dealing with tiger takedowns...

That's like shooting someone in the back! Sorry, don't have any videos of tiger takedowns in application. Some of them even gut the opponant with the tiger claws once they are on the ground.

On page 101 it says fook fu kuen (subdue tiger form) is part of the curriculum of Malaysian Wing Chun that was brought there in the 1930's by Yip Kin

On page 118 it mentions a set of techniques called big-taming-tiger.

The book would make a good xmas present for yourself. They have most the Wing Chun lineages traced all the way down to 1998 when the book was published. It would be nice to know where you fit all that...

You need to sort that, it is year of the tiger after all

Can only find hung ga forms of the same name, and judging from them there's a lot of tiger in wing chun, certainly.

defo makes me realise I need to look at more Southern kung fu lol

[T.D.O]

I've read that Southern dragon was an influence in the development of wing chun, do you know anything about Southern dragon?
