Hi, Thank you! I have trained in several styles over the years. My main two schools had the 'Tien Shan Pai' theory of 'many styles'. I would say my major styles are Wing-Chun Yiu-Choi family, Choy Lay Fut, & Hung-Gar.

Hi', My main styles are 'Wing-Chun, Choy Lay Fut, & Hung Gar,...all of-course Shao-Lin based for the most part in the old days. Out of the many styles/forms I've been through, I would say my most Shao-Lin style forms are '7-Star', '18-Monks/Lohan', Hong Yue Men( Red moon gate), and Tam-Toy 12'.

Correct'...over my 46yrs. so far, I've trained in Northern/Southern/Internal/External. No integration issues',... the one thing that was beat into our heads from both of my main schools, was; ''Keep the flavors/styles of the movements separate and clean!'' Now,..that being said,.. the hardest part of ''Don't mix them up'' lol , was probably the first couple days of going from (for example) a Hung=Gar form to Yang family Tai-Ji form, and wanting to 'fa-jing' thru the whole thing, lol. BUT, our instructors were very good at pulling the bridle', and so far no real issues. I find it Very interesting to see not only the small differences of-course from the flavor or strategy of movements, But mainly ALL of the similarities from style to style! Especially since a few of them were from completely different areas of China at different time periods. The body only moves in certain ways, and most styles explored all of them, from small-frame (Wing Chun)...to large-frame ( Choy Lay Fut) I keep finding the same movements just big or small.
