The tiger (Panthera tigris) is a mammal of the Felidae family, the largest of four “big cats” in the Panthera genus. The tiger is an apex predator and highly adaptable ranging from the Siberian taiga to grasslands to mangrove swamps.
In the culture of many Asian countries, the tiger is the symbol of beauty, bravery and power. In some Chinese martial arts, particularly southern Shaolin tiger boxing style or Kosonken mimics the movement of the tiger. The Kosonken techniques are as direct, short and powerful like the tiger. The techniques include grappling, pressing, pulling, tearing and striking. These techniques are applied directly to vital points on the body and as well as the limbs.
Kosonken applies short explosive energy in the techniques. The short explosive energy helps to conserve energy with effective motion economy. The adversary has no hints and unaware of the sudden shock of application of energy creating surprises and leaving the adversary more vulnerable.
