Features: Xiangxing Quan (Pictographic Fist), "Imitating the form to create techniques, using the form to display art, combining spirit and form," is a major category of Chinese martial arts. There are numerous styles, such as mantis fist, drunkard fist, monkey fist, eagle fist, snake fist, crane fist, and dog fist, each unique and diverse. Tiger fist is a unique Xiangxing Quan style that mimics the fierce and powerful form of a tiger, drawing on its hunting and defensive abilities. It holds high value in combat, physical conditioning, and performance, and has long been known as the king of Xiangxing Quan. To meet the needs of Xiangxing Quan enthusiasts and to promote and preserve the extraordinary techniques of tiger fist, the author, based on his mastery of the Heihu Gate fist techniques, combined with other tiger fist methods, wrote this book, using language as simple and easy to understand as possible to facilitate readers' learning and practice.

Chapter 3 is a comprehensive routine, introducing four distinctive tiger fist styles: Tiger Descending the Mountain Fist, Hungry Tiger Rushing for Prey Fist, White Tiger Blocking the Path Fist, and Black Tiger Night Travel Fist.
