SINGLE TIGER EMERGES FROM CAVE
(STANDARDIZED VERSION)

Single Tiger Emerges from Cave

Single Tiger Emerges from Cave


“Single Tiger Emerges from Cave” was the set that enabled participants, including fresh beginners, at the regional Shaolin Kungfu courses in Andorra, Switzerland and Portugal in August and September 2006 to use typical Shaolin techniques in free sparring within a few days. The set is composed of eight combat sequences simplified from the sixteen Basic Combat Sequences taught in intensive courses and regular classes.

Shaolin Kungfu practitioners who wish to practice sparring with Wahnam Taijiquan practitioners may use this set as a base because it corresponds to the set, “Yellow Bee Sucks Pollens” which forms the base for combat training in Wahnam Taijiquan.

Those who are familiar with sixteen Basic Combat Sequences should have no difficulty learning the set from the picture series below with the help of relevant video clips accessible here


The Names of the patterns in Chinese pronunciation and Chinese characters are provided below.

Video clips showing the teaching of this set by Grandmaster Wong can be found here.
