Hungry Tiger Catches Goat section in Fu Hok
[Mok, thanks much for your help with this on the other forum, but that thread seems to have fallen off topic so let me repost it here.]
One part of the Tiger-Crane form that I have always really, really liked is what Mok tells me is called the 10 Tigers section, I used to refer to it as the tiger claw series. I am talking about the sequence that kind of starts with Hungry Tiger Catches the Goat (illustration 61 in the traditional book, or to reference it in Sifu Bucksam Kongs book, illustration number 140 and following).
Part of what I like about this segment of the form is the quick off angle claws that use both the cat stance and the bow-arrow stance. My question is kind of an open ended one—
What is going on with this segment?
What are some keys to doing this part well?
What things is this part of the form trying to teach me?
Take care,
Brian
