Basically Tiger style can refer to several different styles/style sections. There is no one "Tiger style". There are white tiger style and Black tiger style kung fu, show (Hei hu quan and Bok Fu). As mentioned before that early masters recognized that animals were superior fighters and developed fighting styles that mimicked the movements and attitudes of the animal. The dance-like movements appear graceful on the surface, but can be deadly during a confrontation. The animal's elegance and grace is matched only by its efficient ferocity. Animal style practitioners are quick, deceptive and are taught to end a fight almost instantly, usually either maiming or killing the opponent.
The Fire and Water student may pursue Praying Mantis, Tiger, Eagle, Snake, Bear, Monkey, Crane and Dragon. Students will receive practical fighting / sparring experience in both empty hand (controlled) and gloved (full contact) bouts.
In both tiger styles you must start of with the basics (kicking, punching, bow and arrow stance, horse stance, bow and arrow and horse stance combos. And then after that the school will put you to handset training, Handset training is learning the forms and different animal styles.
Tiger style kung fu has a very special method of fighting such as to make our hand like claws and from there was taught very complex techniques to attack the throat, gabbing techniques, as well as scratching.
Actually you don't have to literally imitate a tiger in order to learn tiger style kung fu. The predatory skills which makes a tiger such an effective predator is what a practitioner of the tiger style would want to translate into combat in order for him/her to become a powerful fighter. Attributes of the tiger, such as its ability to instill fear into its prey, its fearless spirit, its tremendous speed when attacking, its aggression not of evasion, emphasizing overwhelming force, simplicity & directness in attacking, its effective camouflage, its surprise attacks on its prey, its powerful strikes, are what a practitioner of the tiger style should emulate, . So, given the attributes of a tiger, a practitioner ought to have a heart of a warrior, his legs should be developed so just like a tiger he/she would be fast when attacking the opponent, would have strong legs for stability in his/her stances and could deliver devastating kicks and sweeps. His/her arms, fists and hands should be developed so that his punching, clawing and grabbing techniques would be powerful and effective. The tiger's camouflage and its ability to catch its prey off guard is to be translated as a fighter's ability not to telegraph his/her attack and the ability to bait the opponent into a trap.

I want a school to learn tiger kung fu fighting:
You have to find a school that teaches it. A lot of kung fu styles have
tiger forms - hung gar, Shaolin five animal fist, choy li fut...all
utilize tiger and that's only 3. There are other styles that focus on
tiger and nothing else, like fu jow pai, bak fu pai, and Shandong black
tiger.
Most martial art kung fu schools now a days
dont specifically train just tiger style. A good kung fu school will
have varies animal styles 5 or more.
Most schools won't
teach just the Tiger Boxing. They will incorporate it into another
style, such as Hung Gar or the Five Animals Style. I'm not saying that
there aren't schools out there or that the teacher won't offer to teach
you that style only, but it is a challenge to find one.
My
advice would be to interview each school that you look up and ask them
very specific questions on the subject of learning Tiger Boxing. Styles
like White Tiger more than likely won't be found over here. Black Tiger
and Tiger Claw are the most prevalent here in the United States.
Tiger style kung fu Programs in united states: There is a White Tiger school in the US that has been here for many years. It is Doo Wai's White Tiger Kung Fu. He is a highly respected Master here in the US. http://www.whitetigerschools.com/ He has a couple of branches in LA. Contact him and ask the locations. There are a few Shantung Black Tiger schools too. If you like those styles, you might want to look at Bak Mei as it is similar to White Tiger.
Is Cat style kung fu a form of tiger kung fy styles?
Some martial arts fans thought that there is a cat style kung fu or a fighting style is a cat-like kung fu, the Hsing Yi has a "Cat Form" as I mentioned in another topic about xingyiquan kung fu, and jackie chan emulate a cat-like techniques in his old movie about "jackie chan the Snake in the shadow of cat claw".
Video 1 show Tiger stances video.
Videos 2 learn you how to do Tiger style kung fu applications.
Video 3 is a short show of 5 animals system of shaolin kung fu including tiger claw.
I will mention the main difference between different colors of tiger kung fu styles and how this is not the matter of just colors, it is about the fighting techniques and powerful stances and movements taken to fight using every tiger coloring style.
First: Fighting Techniques of Black tiger kung fu style:
Also named "Hei hu quan". It is
characterized by its extensive footwork, acrobatic kicks, low, wide stances, and unique fist position (where the thumb is curled in the same manner as the other fingers, rather than wrapped around them). According to the Shaolin Grandmasters, the style is the single most external style in the Shaolin canon; the longer the stylist practices, however, the more she or he comes to rely solely on internal power. In this respect it is similar to Northern Praying Mantis.
also no special costumes of tiger kung fu.
Note that: Black tiger kung fu is the Shaolin Shandong black tiger fist (Chinese: 黑虎拳, Hei hu quan) and it is a northern Chinese martial art which originated in Shandong Province.
Masters and teachers of shaolin kung fu style:
Grandmaster Shi De Qian The Vice President of Henan Martial Arts Association; Secretary Chief of China Shaolin Quan Research Center; President of China Shaolin Wushu University.
Master Shi Xing Jian (Master Bao) is a 32nd Generation Shaolin Warrior Monk from the original Shaolin Temple in Henan province. He is an outstanding martial artist, a national first level coach and successor of Yi Jin Jing.
Master Shi Yan Can (Master Can) Born and raised in Dengfeng (birthplace of Chinese Kung Fu) Master Can is a 34th gerneration warrior monk of the Shaolin Temple. He has been practicing wushu since 1999.
Master Zhang Chaojie The master of traditional fist and Qi Gong started to learn traditional Chinese Kung Fu from his father at a very young age. He has been doing martial arts for over 20 years. He is a traditional martial artist with high moralities and a friendly personality, who has been teaching traditional kung fu for over 10 years.
Second: Fighting techniques of white tiger kung fu style:
Bok Fu is an external martial arts system incorporating primarily Kenpo and Kung Fu fighting styles. Bok Fu translates to “White Tiger.” The white tiger is a rare and aggressive animal that exemplifies the system's fighting mentality. Upon observing a white tiger in India, the founder of the system, Richard Lee Couvelier, adopted the Chinese translation of Bok-Fu for the name of his style of martial arts ,which had been passed down over many generations, under many names, from Shaolin, by way of Japan.
Bok Fu is an aggressive external martial arts system. It combines the 5 animals of Shaolin – Tiger, Crane, Panther, Snake, and Dragon – with Kenpo Karate and Shotokan. The training progresses from hard Japanese Shotokan movements, to hard/soft Japanese Kenpo style movements, to fluid soft style Kung Fu movements - each with the mentality of the Tiger.
Sample of deadly strikes of tiger kung fu:
But the question will be; is the tiger kung fu still valid to be applied in the real fighting combats??
I think It will be always found in the real fighting situations as a very aggressive fighting style, this video show you how to applay some tiger techniques.
Also you can learn from shaolin tiger kung fu how to apply and utilize fighting techniques in real situations to defend yourself.
If you want to learn tiger kung fu online you can download some tiger style books available in the internet but beware of dangerous skills on your body, before learning to fight with tiger fighting techniques you need first to train your fingers and make them strong enough to fight with them, also train your arms to attain aggressive implementation of tiger skills.
