Eagle Claw is excellent in covering an opponent

The Eagle Claw is usually used as a supportive technique to grip and control an opponent while striking him. "Grasp Strike" and "Hook Strike" shown here are two of many examples. Such a tactic is extremely useful against fast opponents like Boxers. However, the Eagle Claw may sometimes be used as a primary attacking agent, as in the sequence "Eagle Claw Strong Grip Techniques", such as tearing out an opponents tendons or vital parts like the throat or groin.
