Animals of Chinese Martial Arts
There are five standard animals the main body of the art of Traditional Wushu. These are the Tiger, Crane, Leopard, Snake and Dragon.
Ferocity and strength; short snapping power arising from the tendons more than the muscles, the Tiger moves fluidly between tension and relaxation. Tigers respond to conflict with power, using the most direct means available. Tigers teach us to cultivate fluidity and strength without great bulk.
Long legged and elegant, balanced and light, the Crane watches patiently on one leg. Cranes attack with flurries of light attacks of many sorts. Some are intended to distract, some to penetrate weak areas. Cranes help us to cultivate character, and teach us to fly.

Rhythmically rippling, confidently coiling, the Snake focuses on its prey. Snakes rely on preparing one attack, to the point that they can rely on it completely. Snakes use many techniques, but they exist to set up the attack that they had already decided on. Snakes teach us precision and focus.
Stealthily stalking, sprinting to leap and pounce, the Leopard crushes the throat of his prey. Leopards teach us to cultivate speed with strength.
With the claws of the Tiger and the speed of the Leopard, coiling like the Snake and flying like the Crane, the Dragon awaits its moment. Dragons teach wisdom and the power that doesn't arise from strength.
