COMBAT SEQUENCE 14 -- TIGER TAIL KICK (STRAIGHT-BODY)

There are two types of tiger-tail kick, straight-body tiger tail kick and side-body tiger-tail kick. The video here shows the straight-body tiger-tail kick, and the name of the pattern is "Fierce Tiger Springs Claws".

When Grandmaster Wong first learned this tiger-tail kick from Patriarch Ho Fatt Nam, Grandmaster Wong was surprised why it was called "spring claws" and not "spring leg". Later he discovered that "spring Claws" is a crucial aspect of this technique, as illustrated in the video for the initiated.
