Our
lineage seeks to teach
from nature and the animals in it.

From the Tiger we learn Strength and Tenacity. The Tiger
is very powerful and direct. The Tiger commits its
entire mind and body into each move. There is no
hesitation in the Tiger's mind.

From the Panther
(leopard), we learn Speed and Cunning. The
Panther is extremely fast and angular. It sneaks up on
its enemies and uses the element of surprise. The
Panther is not as big as the Tiger, but is capable of
"providing great effect."

From The Serpent we learn Chi and Speed. The Serpent
attacks with its fangs and tongue. Certain Serpents can
suffocate their opponents.

From the Crane, we learn Grace and Balance -- Fluidity.
The Crane is very aware and evasive. Many people
underestimate the Crane's power. It utilizes its beak
for poking and its wings for trapping.

From The Dragon, we learn Knowledge and Wisdom. The
Dragon can change into any animal at any moment. This is
a key part of the secrets of movement.
