Congratulations for making it to here. You must really be interested in the 5 Animal Style. Well, i will try to make it as interesting as possible. Let's start with the Animal Style preferred Movement direction; graphic to the left! In the Shaolin 5 Animal Kung Fu each of the animal styles has a preferred, even predominate way of moving.
As mentioned, it is not a limitation of the Animal Styles but a predominant preference. The Snake likes to go back, slightly less direct but just as simple and immediate. The Panther will always evade first mostly and approach at a time and direction of their choosing. Where-as the Crane will evade first and mostly always and never attack. Crane Style personalities abhor violence, having to use it and being confronted by it. So, if you look at the graphic, red being for proactive movement and green for reactive movement, you have a visual representation of the 4 Character trait Preferences.
Please also note that both the Tiger and Snake prefer simple direct movement where as the Crane and Panther develop complex sometimes even convoluted style of moving. This has to do with the Power of the Styles. Both the Tiger and Snake have a large power. The Tiger bases their ability for direct and strong action on the Power of their Mind and Body where as the Snake bases their strong action on the Power of the Ability and Knowledge. Panther Types prefer to take action when they are good and ready where as Cranes will only take action when they really, really need to and then it will be as a response to an external influence.
So what you ask? The Tiger Style person, when confronted with a problem, will want to meet it head on! Directly frontal and immediately. No need for dilly-dallying, get it fixed and move on. Whereas the Panther Style person will first want's to understand the issue at hand, analyse it, get a feel for it and see what may be the consequences of any solution. And then, and only then, when they are ready will they take action, preferably with the most economic of efforts if possible.
The Crane Personality will evade the problem, get out of the way and see if it passes. And if it doesn't it will evade the problem again; possibly talking to friends and family about the issue as if seeking advice but really looking for support, possibly a Tiger or Panther stylist to fix it for them.
If all this doesn't work, they will, if still confronted by the issue, start to take little actions. Not with the aim of fixing the problem but of reducing it's effect on them and possibly derailing the issue so that it is no longer an issue.
Snake Personalities do not do problems. They don't evade it thy try and totally avoid it. Get out and let someone else deal with it. Be gone problem, you weren't here yesterday and i don't want you here today and not tomorrow.
If the problem persists they will, when pushed into a corner, deal with it based on research of how such a problem has been fixed in the past. A total solution so that it can never occur again! Now each of these methods has it's place and then most people have a dominant problem solving style and a fall back solving style and often even another if they have a problem solving profession.
But we will get to that later. The Tiger Style is very good when confronted with emergencies and disasters when immediate action is needed. In these situation of immediate and fairly simple danger, the Tiger is the Style to be and do. Move, move, move. Panther Stylist my be inclined to over-think the situation or even procrastinate to the point of too-late. Both Crane and Snake Stylist will avoid the situation effectively but will do so reactively. If it is a situation that requires immediate and decisive action, The Tiger personality is best suited.
Let's look at another type of Danger in the future. As he has 4 thugs with him as he states this, the Tigers inclination is to counter threaten; Panther will wait and see, Crane will seek assistance and Snake will look for a way out that has worked in the past. Just a quick reminder, these examples are archetypal and simplified. Humans are complex creatures but it is by recognizing the simplest of actions that we can understand ourselves.
So, what would be the reaction of the different styles when confronted with a busted chair. The Tiger personality would go about trying to fix it then and there; if the situation was appropriate. The Panther would avoid the issue choosing an appropriate suitable and relevant question such as "does it really need fixing? The Crane personality would possible renumerate of the people who could fix it, uncle Charlie, the furniture restorer down the road or some such; also avoiding immediate action or responsibility.
The Snake personality would question the very premise of the statement. Both the Panther and the Crane would seek more something-or-other but defiantly evade any action relating to this. The Panther is more likely to come back to this problem and deal with it, some time, if it is really needed and convenient. The Tiger Personality is a go getter and do'er, direct, open, honorable and loyal.
A great mate, quick to be friends but also quick to anger, intolerant of weakens's, faults, also a Bull in a China Shop, sometime bully, brash and inconsiderate. The Panther Personality is a Thinker, solver of complex problems, planner and good strategist. Seemingly a great mate to all and well liked, the Panther can spread himself far and wide. They are also procrastinators, converluted over thinkers who can be friendly to your face but other when you are not there. When there are complex problems to be solved and the time is not so much of an issue, Panther Types can do a lot with very little information and guidance but they need to be checked along the way.
Let the Panther work out what needs doing but check in regularly or it will go astray. The Crane Personality is a carer, involver of people, listener and truly nice person. They are very good with most every person, listening to your concerns and when appropriate putting something into the conversation.

They tend to be inflexible, prefer to go by the book and will rarely offer their own opinion choosing to either quote someone or refer to a fact or study. Although they are usually at the center of a group or a crowd they are rarely full a part of these. As mentioned above, their upbringing rather than their character makes them social and amiable.
Situations may bring out a different reaction than your usual. If a Tiger is really confronted by and overwhelming force, they can turn Snake and run. If a Snake is confronted by an impossible situation they can turn Tiger and If a Panther is confounded by a problem they will probably turn into a Crane for a while where as the Crane can not find a person to help them they may turn into a Panther but!

Three possibilities arise;. This is a simple example but we know of at least one example where the Tiger personality did something very similar with a broken object.

As mentioned, most person have a main fall back position and in real difficult situations a second less favored fall back position. And this is where it get's interesting!
The Management Cycle is very successful if the Manager does not try to Micro Manage control every detail of their subordinated. The Tiger will give a clear direction and focus for the Panther to roam and do what they do best. As long as the Tiger only occasionally 'reminds' the Panther Stylist of the direction and helps them keep on track, this relationship will have great outcomes.
The Panther manages the Big Picture for the Crane who manages the People and as long as the panther allows the Crane to do it their way and in their time and only again occasionally reminds the Crane personality to consider that what they are doing needs to be for the greater good, all is well.
The Crane Manager needs a Snake Type person to keep order and the books. Crane types can loose themselves in the People and the Snake will remind them that the business is what enables the people to work and be.

Tiger Manager Tiger are natural leaders but also natural Bull-in-a-China-shop. They need to focus their energies in different ways for each of the Animal Styles although there is a pattern.
