History:
There are three different schools of Black Tiger Fist. The first is from southern province of Zhejiang in the coastal region of Taizhou. Accordingly, it is sometimes known as Zhejiang Nanquan.
However, another Black Tiger fist school comes from the south-eastern province of Sichuan, which is the largest and most populated region of China today with a population of over 100 million.
Sichuan Black Tiger fist has the low stances typical of southern styles, but also the long arm movements more akin to northern long fist schools. This school has spread to areas both west and south of Sichuan.
Lastly, there is Black Tiger fist that descends from the northern province of Gansu, on the border of Mongolia. Despite being the most isolated of the three schools, this region is the closest to any remaining wild tigers.
