Everything about Bear Claw totally explained
A
bear claw is a sweet
breakfast food, popular chiefly on the
West Coast of the United States. It is an

Other uses
The term bear claw is atypically used in reference to a strategic move in the sport of
rowing. The move occurs when a
crew attempts to move ahead with 10 or more hard strokes, also known as a
Power 10. The call to perform a bear claw is made by the
coxswain. A typical coxswain call to perform a bear claw might be, "Reach back for a bear claw in two, in one, on this one!" The bear claw itself is performed by the
rowers, which lasts anywhere from 15 seconds to a minute or more, depending on the crew's cadence and whether the crew is competing in a
head race or a 2000 meter sprint race.
Alternatively, the term bear claw is also used to describe the claw of an
actual bear. Also the term bear claw is a hand gesture made by bending only the second joint of each finger on your hand, impersonating what looks like a bear claw. This hand gesture represents strength and unity.
In the
Netherlands, "
Berenklauw" (lit. Bear Claw) is one of the names given to a snack consisting of
meatball slices and
onion rings (both fried), held together with a
cocktail stick, and optionally served with
peanut sauce.
Bear Claw is also a common fighting style using the palm and fingers to exert a large amount of direct force upon the target.
