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
Shark
Koala
Gerbil
Pterodactyl
Care Bear
Sloth
Hagfish
Spiny Lumpsucker
Naked Mole Rat
Probiscus Monkey
Good guesses! You have three correct responses.
Close… we learn Care Bear with Glo-Worm at Brown Belt. I’m not quite there yet.
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
Tiger
Snake
Crane
Eagle
Seamonkey
i’ve seen enough movies to do this…
Tiger
Crane
Praying Mantis
Dragon
Panther
Wu Tang
Tiger
Snake
Monkey
Dragon
Armadillo
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?
Excellent. You have three correct answers.
Dang Ben. You are alarmingly close to perfect.
You have four of the five animals correct.
Three correct responses.
The Armadillo attack is an especially advanced technique in that it requires conditioning your body to have thick calluses everywhere.
it’s easy to get a high score when you have 6 guesses for 5 animals
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.

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!!
Tiger, panther, snake, dragon, crane.
Who has two thumbs and loves Bruce Lee? This guy right here.
i typed that like two hours ago and then went to a meeting before submitting! honest to goodness!
I would like to see what you think a dragon fist would look like.
Jesse smells like butt.
I typed that like right now..then decided to send it anyways.
honest to goodness!
Actually, the Dragon Shadow Fist is famous, though hard to do in low light environments.

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.)
I would think “Wu Tang Killer Bee” would be more appropriate here. Just sayin.
