Is China's Tiger Boxing based on capture?

Tiger boxing is not simply based on capture, but, like other kinds of boxing, it is a complex comprehensive boxing with both offensive and defensive functions. The reason why you have the illusion of "catching first" is because your thinking is limited to "Tiger Claw". Tiger boxing takes a pair of "Tiger Claw" as the most important position, but it doesn't just catch, but penetrates the fingertips; If you don't come out, you will make the enemy hurt. Grasping each other with five fingers is like fishing for the enemy with steel.

If you have practiced mantis boxing, you will know what the basic gestures of mantis boxing are. Its skills are very rich, from long-handed to short-handed stealing, from grabbing elbows to hitting the ground-so there are also moves like Muay Thai that attack opponents with elbows and knees, but it is not limited to this.
