tiger style

Claw-based combat form

Tiger style is a martial arts approach emphasizing aggressive, powerful strikes that mimic a tiger's ferocity—clawing motions, low stances, and direct attacks.

The term gained wider cultural currency through Wu-Tang Clan's 1993 track "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'": Ain't nothin' to fuck with—tiger style.

Now used loosely to describe any fierce, no-nonsense approach: She came at that presentation tiger style.
