White Crane vs Tigers

By Steven Moody May 21, 2015 3 Comments

Ever wonder why the Chinese seemed so fixated on attributing badass martial capabilities to the observation of cranes?

Here one crane holds three tigers at bay.

Note the importance of facing.

      For whatever reason, many Chinese systems, including White Crane, Wing Chun and Tai Chi, have an origin story of a woman watching a fight between a crane and a snake as the inspiration.

Subscribe to my list and get a FREE DOWNLOAD of my short book Wing Chun Mind

NOTE: Since setting up this list over a year ago, I have never sent anything out to it! So basically its just a mechanism to distribute this book, at the moment.

My goal with this book was to help beginner's get a grasp of Wing Chun and how best to approach it in their training -- and to help everyone benefit from my experience, which has taught me how important mindset is to all fight training -- the book is about forty pages long -- I hope it helps!

Hi. I'm Steve, a professional researcher. I started learning Wing Chun Kung Fu in 2000. Since then, I've trained with some of the best Wing Chun teachers in the world (including Greg LeBlanc and Gary Lam) and done hundreds of hours of research into fight science. This website contains the best of what I've learned. Contact: [email protected]
