Advanced Form
Ng Fu Kuen5 Tiger Fist
An empty-hand form in the Eagle Claw curriculum. Ng Fu Kuen, the 5 Tiger Fist, draws on the strength and directness of tiger technique, combining heavy strikes, grabs, and forward pressure across five linked sections.
About the form
Ng Fu Kuen, the Five Tiger Fist, teaches dynamic fighting attributes, fierce tiger-like energy, and advanced physical conditioning rather than just basic hand locks. It trains power from the ground up: strong stances and full-body rotation drive heavy punches, tiger claws, and grips, then each strike follows with a controlling action so the opponent cannot reset. Working the set builds rooted strength, hand conditioning, and the intent to move forward rather than trade space.
At Shadow Fist, Ng Fu Kuen is taught step by step in class under your instructor’s guidance, then refined at home with the training video below. Practice builds the power, structure, and grip strength that carry into the rest of the advanced curriculum.
