Represents the Leopard, the color corresponds with Mercury, mirror and water. The Leopard stalks by the water with ferocity and rationality combined with blinding speed.

Each finger on the hand represents one of the five animals that are the essence of kenpo; tiger, crane, leopard, dragon, and the snake.
When the fingers are brought together to form a fist they will expose the hidden animal the monkey.
Tiger - Fierce linear fighter that utilizes a pre-planned attack to get to its opponent first, a straight line between him and his foe.
Crane - A defensive counter fighter that relies on coordination and agility to see the exposed target of the enemy and attacks from an unexpected angle.
Leopard - A fighter that will not massively commit all body weight into its strike, it makes up loss of power by increasing speed.
Dragon - A fighter known for its fury and intelligence that does not fear its enemy; rather fear what his power may do to it.
Snake - A fighter that would rather bluff its enemy to avoid confrontation and possible injury. Snakes do not play with its enemy; if forced it will disable or kill.
Monkey - A fighter that is always thinking, it is primarily defensive and sneaky, it usually adopts a mirror image to reflect an equal force with its enemy.
