Eagle Claw – Martial Arts Technique

This page provides details for the Kung Fu “Eagle Claw” technique. This is where a martial artist shapes his/her hand like a claw and uses it to either grasp an opponent or to strike an opponent (i.e. grab and pull on a muscle). For information on other martial arts punches & strikes, please visit Black Belt Wiki’s main Punches & Strikes section.

This technique is used by Chinese martial arts such as Eagle Claw Kung Fu. This strike is similar to the martial arts Tiger Claw technique. However, be aware that this is not the same as the martial arts Eagle Strike technique.

Martial arts knee strikes and all other martial arts techniques should only be practiced under the supervision of a trained martial arts instructor.
