 Tiger Dragging His Tail
Tiger Dragging His Tail is a series of dance moves done with the staff during pre-fight rituals in Krabi-Krabong. This is not to say muay Thai schools do not use the same terminology. I prefer to think there is some resemblance to the historical, and appreciate schools helping to keep alive the old tradition, even if just by using the words. If done empty-handed, the hand is held low in front of the body, while backing up to drag the opponent to you. The footwork does not lend itself easily to modern ring fighting, so it is rare you see Tiger Dragging His Tail nowadays. |
