Fu Jow Pai

Fu Jow Pai, "Tiger Claw System", originally named "Hark Fu Moon" (Black Tiger Kung Fu System), also Shaolin Shandong Black Tiger Fist "Hei hu quan" has its origins in Hoy Hong Temple. The system was modeled after the demeanor and fighting strategy of an attacking tiger. The striking movements are lightning fast, agile and powerful. Techniques unique to Fu-Jow Pai are ripping, tearing, clawing and grasping applications.

Techniques

It is characterised by its extensive footwork, acrobatic kicks, low, wide stances, and unique fist position (where the thumb is curled in the same manner as the other fingers, rather than wrapped around them). According to the Shaolin Grandmasters' text the style is the single most external style in the Shaolin canon; the longer the stylist practices, however, the more she or he comes to rely solely on internal power. In this respect it is similar to Northern Praying Mantis.

In 1968, the Chinese Youth Athletic Club becomes Fu Jow Pai Federation and opens to the public.

Much of the content of Hung Gar is assiciated with the tiger.
