Leopard

	Leopard Kung Fu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The leopard style was founded on the creators' observation of the movements of the leopard in the wild, and therefore practitioners of the style imitate these movements.
		The sheer speed of the leopard is a defining characteristic of the style; however, as with all martial arts of this style, the practitioner' ability to provide the necessary speed diminishes as he ages, reducing his or her efficacy in combat.
		The Leopard style has many stealth techniques that are useful in moving around undetectable at night where one uses the eyes, speed, stealth, and cunning in supposed imitation of the leopard (this can also be done in the daylight but not to the same degree).
