Mostly Harmless
I donāt think you are talking about the same thing. Can you show me what you mean by tigers sprawling?Sprawling has been around for hundreds of millions of years.
Animals that grapple sprawl naturally. Whoever saw a tiger take another tigers legs out? Nope they meet head to head, whatever level.
That's a key element of tiger Kung fu. Enemy goes low, you lower, with claws out.
