Thats probably just the surface, theses days there are styles popping up everywhere.

Fire Hawk- do you think you could list what is generally most seen or heard of styles?

Now I hope no-one takes offence if their style is not mentioned, Martial Artists can be a fikkle butch at times.

PEACE !!!

Hi-

I think that with the inclusion of all the village and family styles there are likely more than 400 styles of chinese martial arts being practiced at any given time on the planet.

Of course many systems have 80% of the same content under different names because of the way the art moved across geographic regions and through peoples.

It’s true of all martial arts from all cultures that this takes place.

peace
