Leopard Style Kung Fu

Pao Pat Mei

As with the Tiger Claw Kung Fu, Pao Pat Mei is based on the fighting prowess of one of the great hunting cats. And the difference between the two styles is like the difference between tigers and leopards. Where tigers rely on pure strength and power, the leopard must use quickness and accuracy. The tiger can afford direct contests of power, where the leopard must be more cautious and plan more carefully.

A master of Leopard Style Kung Fu will take the time to appraise an opponent before striking. However, there's not a lot of subtlety in this form. Every technique is dedicated to fast and deadly attacks. Teaching is available only at remote monasteries.

Must always attempt to ‘stalk’ (spend 1 round watching opponent, preferably from a hidden position) his/her opponent.

Stance

Narrow stance with feet close together, one in front of another. Fists are held tight to the center of the chest, one on top of the other, almost touching.
