Within the training process of Praying Mantis boxing, Once the learner has a firm grasp of fundamentals, Xiao-huyan is often the first formal form to be taught. Xiao-huyan is not an extremely difficult form, but it’s also not as simple as it seems. The reason we like to teach Xiao-huyan as the first formal Praying Mantis form, is not only to challenge the learner, but also because it has an important commemorative value. This is because when Xiao-huyan ("Screeching Tiger Swallow") is said to be the first form Wang Lang created when creating the Praying Mantis system. having gone through this long period of time and build-up of experience, the Screeching Tiger Swallow forms grew to encompass a full set of forms, known as the "Tiger Swallow Series" of the Praying Mantis system. For this reason, the name of "Screeching Tiger Swallow" was switched to "Little Tiger Swallow" to indicate it comes first in the Huyan series.

The Huyan (Tiger and Swallow) series of forms is one of the first sets to be practiced within Praying Mantis training.
Of the Huyan forms, Xiao-huyan is considered most representative. As the name implies, Xiao-huyan combines the ferocity of a tiger with the lightness and agility of a swallow. This form has both hardness and softness and can be applied at long or short range. It is described as: move like a fierce tiger emerging from a thicket, land like a wild goose gently hovering to the ground. Hard and soft happen at the same time. Though this contradiction seems to be unnatural at first, This form actually flows extremely well. The hand techniques of Xiao-huyan are fast and highly applicable in combat. This is the first and most important form in the Huyan series.
