Tiger has six different techniques I can think of
Tang shou Tao was a totally new concept to me until this thread was started. Naturally it has some kind of system to it, and cross training bagua and xing yi was common in the old days, so why not now? I guess there are maybe gems contained within those teachings.

A better strategy is to find and ask about some current xingyi teachers in your surrounding area and study from that person.

Interesting to see and compare, anyway. Lots of interesting variations from Di Guoyong's book, Zhang Junfeng lineages, and many other Hebei branches, too.
Not sure about Shanxi branches - do Che, Song practitioners learn many variations of tiger, too?

He was quite solid with a scull cap
He filmed outside in a monetary
He did heaps of variations of tiger and other things
Seems to have disappeared I wish I could find him again he was my favourite Hsing I guy
By the way lots of guys claim to train TST it is not always the case
