Eagle Claw Kung Fu training at Shadow Fist

Advanced Form

Fu Tow Seung AuTiger Head Double Hooks

A two-hook weapon form in the Eagle Claw curriculum. Fu Tow Seung Au, the Tiger Head Double Hooks, teaches students to use a hook in each hand, catching, trapping, and tearing with the curved blades and their back spikes.

About the form

Fu Tow Seung Au, the Tiger Head Double Hooks, teaches advanced multi-range weapons combat, trapping, and fluid body mechanics within the Northern Shaolin Eagle Claw (Ying Jow Pai) system. The hook blades catch and redirect an opponent’s weapon or limb, while the back spikes and butt ends add striking options. Training both hooks at once develops coordination, wrist strength, and the circular footwork that keeps the set flowing.

At Shadow Fist, Fu Tow Seung Au is taught step by step in class under your instructor’s guidance, then refined at home with the training video below. Practice builds the coordination, wrist strength, and control that carry into the rest of the weapon curriculum.

What the form teaches

Core skills and techniques

Multi-range adaptation

The design shifts across short, medium, and long combat ranges using the straight blade, the lower dagger tip, the crescent guard, and the open hook.

Trapping and control

The front hook catches, binds, and disarms an opponent’s weapon or limbs.

Close-range defense and offense

The crescent-shaped hand guard protects the knuckles while delivering close-quarter strikes, elbows, and blocks.

Linked-weapon extension

The two hook swords can be locked or hooked together to swing one weapon from the other, dramatically extending reach for long-range sweeping attacks.

Dynamic footwork and flow

The form demands high-level agility: spinning, or “flowering,” motions, jumping, running attacks, and low sweeps, matching the swift, evasive footwork of Eagle Claw.
