You were given a double treat in this concluding video series of the Special Chin-Na Course.

Application of the double tiger claws in the pattern “Hungry Tiger Catches Goat” is one of Grandmaster Wong's specialties. The encounters between him and Dr Damian were free and spontaneous, and showed some interesting combat principles. The applications of this “Hungry Tiger” chin-na technique against the four categories of attack were formalized in the combat sequence demonstrated.
