According to Shaolin Martial Arts, the Tiger vs. the Dragon is the symbol of the line overcoming the circle and vice versa. The tiger fights in a straightforward attack bulldozing it's opponent. The dragon fights using circular flexible attacks. They are certainly worthy opponents :)
Both the tiger and dragon are old Buddhist symbols. They have come to be known as oppositional symbols - one reflecting a 'hard' style (attacking and unrelenting) form of martial arts, this is symbolized by the Tiger. Conversly, the 'soft' style is represented by the Dragon and is a form that embodies a defensive and more fluid 'circular-attack'. Thus, these symbols have come to be interpreted to represent (in the same way Yin/Yang represent) duality and balance attained through the balance of oppossing forces, etc., and are often used as symbols of this philosophy which is found in many Eastern cultures and practices. Many systems of study recognize a need for both 'hard' and 'soft' styles, therefore, many systems require training in both 'styles' in order to offer the student a balanced base of training and experience.
The Tiger versus the Dragon represents the balance of power.

∙ 11y agoI grow weary of ignorant people who read way too much incorrect information, therefore here at the historical facts from an actual Asian who knows what he's talking about.
The TIGER represents YIN, which is a FEMALE symbol, where as the DRAGON represents YANG which is a MALE symbol. And they are NOT "like" Yin and Yang, THEY ARE Yin and Yang. In art, tattoos included, the Dragon MUST be on the RIGHT, and the Tiger MUST be on the LEFT, any other variation is offensive, much less incorrect.
The Tiger is a male sign signifying the aggressor and the Dragon is a female sign that represents the defender. They are like Yin and Yang - two opposites who need each other to provide balance.

When you say someone has "the eye of the tiger" you mean they are focused on winning and not distracted by "being a team player" or other sympathetic emotion. In this sense, saying someone has the eye of the tiger is not always a compliment, but almost always it is a sign of respect.

A tiger and a dragon has been on debate for centuries. There are various patterns and distinguishing features for both the animals.But, to give an answer to your question,A Tiger: Portrays, raw power, skill, strength, independence, commanding attributes.A Dragon : The 'ONE' kind of thinking, Kingly, and similar attributes. Includes Strength and power.So, if there is a Tiger AND a Dragon, then it would most likely be the yin and yang dragon and tiger. Which means, A part of the dragon fighting a part of the tiger, at the same time, a part of the dragon admiring/respecting the tiger and vice versa.There is a basic difference between the two. The dragon and tiger are 2 VERY powerful animals. But, while a tiger walks his own path, a dragon chooses. This gives the weight of choice on a dragons decision, as a matter of great importance. A Dragon does either GREAT EVIL or GREAT GOOD. or so it is told.For detailed understanding of animals in the Chinese Zodiacs.
