Guess the Animals.
I’m learning a new form at Kung Fu: the Five Animal form.
Throughout the form, we Kung Fu-ists imitate five different animals in the midst of our flurry of attacks. Your job… is to guess which animals we imitate. I was going to give you a list of animals to choose from, but I think it’d be far more entertaining to just let you have at it.
Good luck. (also: don’t cheat)
Monkey
Snake
Tiger
Eagle
Dragon
Good guesses! You have three correct responses.
Shark
Koala
Gerbil
Pterodactyl
Care Bear
Close… we learn Care Bear with Glo-Worm at Brown Belt. I’m not quite there yet.
Sloth
Hagfish
Spiny Lumpsucker
Naked Mole Rat
Probiscus Monkey
While these aren’t quite on target, I am tempted to start a new martial art based on aggressive Spiny Lumpsucker and Sloth techniques.
Tiger
Horse
Dragon
Panda
Dog
Not bad! You two correct responses.
I wish Panda was one of the correct ones.
Fun fact: My academy (the Tat Wong Kung Fu Academy) was chosen as the official kung fu representatives for the recent movie Kung Fu Panda. neat huh?
Tiger
Snake
Crane
Eagle
Seamonkey
Excellent. You have three correct answers.
i’ve seen enough movies to do this…
Tiger
Crane
Praying Mantis
Dragon
Panther
Wu Tang
Dang Ben. You are alarmingly close to perfect.
You have four of the five animals correct.
it’s easy to get a high score when you have 6 guesses for 5 animals
I would think “Wu Tang Killer Bee” would be more appropriate here. Just sayin.
Tiger
Snake
Monkey
Dragon
Armadillo
Three correct responses.
The Armadillo attack is an especially advanced technique in that it requires conditioning your body to have thick calluses everywhere.
um… crane, tiger, horse, dragon, bear?
Three correct answers.
hint: Horse, while it’s a stance, is - as far as I know - not a fighting style in Kung Fu.
Tiger
Snake
Eagle
Praying Mantis
Panther
You’ve got three out of five!
Tiger
Panther
Mantis
Crane
Bear
Four out of five!
UPDATE! WAIT! I LIED!
Three out of five!
Tiger
Praying Mantis
Dragon
Crane
Snake
Four out of Five!
Keep going! you can do it!
Tiger
Praying Mantis
Dragon
Crane
Flobberworm
Ooooh… bad guess. Flobberworm is not in the form.
Tiger
Parying Mantis
Dragon
Crane
Eagle
Three out of Five!
Tiger
Snake
Crane
Dragon

You did it! well done Kurt!
Yes, the five animals are Tiger, Snake, Crane, Dragon, and Panther. Interestingly, four of these have their own style fist as well.
Check out my drawing here:

Great Job Kurt!!
I would like to see what you think a dragon fist would look like.
Actually, the Dragon Shadow Fist is famous, though hard to do in low light environments.

Jesse smells like butt.
I typed that like right now..then decided to send it anyways.
honest to goodness!
Wait, isn’t the answer just the cast from Kung Fu Panda? (Unfortunately I didn’t see the movie, but I am just making a movie trailer-educated guess.)
