  Represents internal strength. The dragon’s movements are soft and circular (similar to Tai Chi). The dragon builds the spirit, and uses it’s whole body to attack or defend.
• Tiger
  Represents external strength. The tiger’s movements are overpowering and strong. Tiger training builds tendons and bones, and strengthens the spine and neck. Tiger uses it’s weight and mass to attack.
• Snake
  Represents internal strength and chi. The snake’s movements are soft and coiling. Snake builds the internal energy and chi, and it’s attacks are relaxed releasing chi upon impact.
• Crane
  Represents both internal and external strength. The crane’s attacks are circular and end with quick exploding power. The crane builds muscles and tendons (flexibility), while developing jing (essential energy).
• Leopard
  Represents external strength. The leopard’s attacks have loose whipping power. Leopard builds the skin, tendon, muscle, and bone. It’s attacks are more powerful and penetrating.
