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.
