Many Shaolin Kung Fu patterns were inspired from observing the characteristics of various animals. Of the many animals in Shaolin Kung Fu, five are especially significant. These five are the Dragon, Snake, Tiger, Leopard, and Crane.
Over the centuries, Shaolin masters adopted not only the outward animal characteristics, like the Tiger claw, but also the inner essence, like the speed of the leopard and the elegance of the crane. Each of the Shaolin Five Animals is noted for its special characteristic and essence.
