• Ground Combat: Wolf Fang Fists has some of the strongest ground game in Kun'lao martial arts.

At the same time, it teaches its adherents to do anything they can to take their opponent off their feet so they can mount them and finish them off.

• Brutality: Wolf Fang Fists relies on brutality more than most of Heavenly City styles. At least North Star Cobra can hide its torturous nature behind pressure point strikes. Wolf Fang Fists users will do anything it takes to win, whether it be biting, low blows, or cheap tricks to do so.
