Hun Gar animals: Tiger
Have you seen tiger's hunt? It creeps and then attacks its prey stabing claws in it. You should do the same with your adversary. Tiger is characterized by sharp hits and powerful attacks, because the tiger represents the strength. By the way in China the tiger, and not the lion, is the king of beasts. Using short movements in low stands tiger at first makes offensive hit to break through the defense, and then applies a series of two or three strikes for the final victory.
Movings and stands are low. Besides the "tiger paw" done by palm but not by fingers, “tiger” can use strikes by horizontal fist, forearm, elbow, hand edge, doubled strikes (if you have three hands – triple strikes). Kicks are short, with using of hip, mostly single. Tiger uses block and then immediately subdues, pulling by his "paw" – pull your enemy and make counter attack. Tiger blocks more frequently by forearm. Strikes and blocks are hard. Style of combat is attacking, you just make the way by force. If you feel tiger's sitting inside of you and it is about to break out, you urgently need to be prescribed tiger form a hundred times on each side.

Training with Master Dmitry Prosvirov at KungFu-School in Valencia is a great experience. His classes combine traditional Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Qigong with practical applications that improve strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and confidence. Dmitry is a knowledgeable and dedicated instructor who gives personal attention and makes the training welcoming for both beginners and experienced students. His self-defense seminars are especially valuable, offering practical hands-on training and real-world awareness in addition to traditional martial arts. If you're looking for meaningful martial arts training in the Valencia/Santa Clarita area, come try a class and experience it for yourself! -

I’ve had the privilege of studying Kung Fu with Master Dmitry for a considerable time, and his teaching approach stands out for its depth and clarity. His expert guidance has made learning complex techniques accessible and engaging. Under his supervision, I have not only improved my flexibility and physical conditioning but also gained a solid foundation in various martial arts techniques and self-defense strategies. Master Dmitry’s classes extend beyond physical training; they also encompass Qigong practices, the philosophy behind Kung Fu, and its historical evolution. His ability to weave these elements into the curriculum has enriched my understanding and appreciation of this ancient art. For anyone interested in a comprehensive Kung Fu education that develops both body and mind, I highly recommend his instruction.

Currently a student in college (on my last year!) I have been taking Kung Fu with Dmitry for about 6 months now, and I've only seen positive results. Dmitry's positive attitude and his personality attributes help the one-on-one feel less like I'm at a lecture, although you could say a class is a class, to which I'd disagree. I've taken multiple sports in highschool as well as the beginning of my college years, and I'd go as far to say that this form of physical education is something so unique, it's not just your typical fitness routine It's more than that. Aside from the benefit of physical exercise, the breathing exercises, qi gong, helped me relax my mind which is something I haven't felt in a while, made me much more concentrated, mindful and surroundings overall. I believe if it wasn't the Kung Fu exercises, I would've never been able to do as well in this last half a year at college as I am now. Martial Arts has for sure implemented itself into my life and is very very important to me. Thank you!

Master Dmitry has been a fantastic teacher for me and my entire family, primarily for my children! They just love him! If you're unaware, Dmitry isn't only a great trainer for adults, but also teaches kids, ages of 5 and up, making him not only a variety trainer... My children get the activity and exercise they need, as well as knowledge about the arts and techniques for self defense. This is very important to us. As someone with his own kids, Dmitry has perfectly understood the approach to ours, and how to have fun while also making it their favorite extracurricular.
