What are all the types of tiger kung fu styles ?

I have been looking into hung gar and I am just curious about the tiger kung fu style so info on the many types of tiger styles is greatly appriaciated.|||Obviously, Tony the Tiger is most famous for being great.





Tigger type would be the best for starters.





Thanks for the 2 points|||Obviously, you have Hung Gar Siu-Lum C%26#039;haun Fa, and two derivitive styles from the initial Wong Fei Hung lineage : a Malaysian version of Hung Gar through Master Lam Sai Wing, as well as Bak Mei (White Eyebrow) gung fu.





Outside of them, you have Fujow Pai (tiger family style), Black Tiger (from S. China), as well as the general Siu-Lum (Shaolin) Fujow C%26#039;huan Fa (Tiger claw fist style).





Those are all that I know of personally, moreso about Hung Gar than anything as I studied it for 14 years..though I%26#039;ve had some cross teaching on Jing principles and some basic techniques of Bak Mei as well.|||Note that all tiger-only styles are %26#039;extinct.%26#039; They are no longer taught in schools, not even the temples where they originated. Back in the day, there was: Fu Jow Pai, Hark Fu Moon, Hong tiger, Imperial Tiger, and White Eyebrow, which is based on tiger styles.





Nowadays, any five animal Southern style includes tiger sub-styles. Try to learn Hung Gar, as seen in Jet Li%26#039;s Fearless, etc. Hung Gar practitioners were so powerful that other stylists were afraid to fight them, for fear of having their limbs shredded, or torn off. If not, try Choy Lay Fuy (also Lee or Li Fut), the cousin of Hung Gar.
