Tiger kung fu dates back to the time of Dr. Hua T'o and constituted some of the original kung fu exercises taught for health.
Among the Shaolin, tiger was a necessity for study because it encompassed all aspects of armed and unarmed combat.
For the most part, tiger utilizes a hard, external approach to combat that meets force with force and is very likely to maim or kill an opponent because of the nature of the counterattack.
