The Dragon Slaying Tiger Fist Style is one of two hand-to-hand arts promoted by the Sect, and focuses on External, Hard Power–that which is produced by training the muscles and bones, and by techniques backed with explosive movements. Fierce punches, vicious claw techniques used for grappling and tearing, and powerful footwork are the signature of this art. What is more, the iron-body method of conditioning, intense exercise, and increasing the capacity of the heart and lungs renders the martial artist’s body a living weapon in its own right.
First Form: Crushing Fang

• Teaches Basic Fundamentals including Horse Stance, Straight Punches, Tiger Claws, and a few blocking and grappling techniques.
• The major Techniques within this form are the Fierce Golden Fist (a hard punch with high concept body mechanics), Tiger Descends the Mountain (a method of shifting weight), and Tiger Seizes Deer (a grappling claw technique).

Eightfold Spirit Forging Method

• One of three Cultivation Arts taught by the Sect, depending on the student’s natural affinities and the preference of their efforts. Of these, the Eightfold Spirit Forge is considered the “weakest,” but by that same token it does not require any specific talents to use, nor does it carry abnormally great risks compared to any other Cultivation Method.
• Tai has focused more on training his body and martial arts than Cultivating, so right now he lags behind the rest of his generation in the Outer Disciple Class.

Training Foundation

• Tai has achieved the Fourth Rank of this Realm, putting him on the level of professional athletes or fresh soldiers in terms of sheer physicality. However, without Cultivation, one could never have a Breakthrough past the Ninth Rank of the Training Foundation Realm to the Qi Condensation Realm.

Tai has no memory of where he came from, nor of his parents, nor any other family or friends. There are brief flashes, and every so often nightmares, but try as he might he has only the vaguest sense of the past. The man who brought him to the Sect told the story as such: A mere peasant boy, from a poor farming village, whose home was burned to the ground and slaughtered to a man. Tai was found in the middle of a dusty road, a child barely out of toddler years. He crouched, like an animal, on the chest of a dead man.

Tai’s rescuer took care of him for some time, despite how unruly and wild the boy was at first. But when he grew older, and the man felt he was ready, Tai was brought to the Sect to enter as an Outer Disciple. Though young, he has a fierce spirit, and a burning desire to become stronger than anyone else…
