Since we now have a thread dedicated to Southern systems, I thought it a great chance to list southern systems. I know only a few, so let the listing begin!!

I'll have to think now ,but off the top of my head Cheung Kune Pai (Southern Tai Tzu's Chang Chuan)

Don't believe I saw this on the list: Tsoi Li Hoi Fut, or Toy Li Haw Fut. Some add Hung or even Hung Ga, although most first generation masters (first in the US, that is) seem to draw a deep line between this art and either Choy Lay Fut or Hung Gar. At any rate, it's known mostly by Kung Fu San Soo, passed down by Grandmaster Jimmy H Woo (Chin Siu Dek).

For me, much easier and less controversial to call it as I learned it, Kung Fu San Soo.

Not being a Southern stylist I could be wrong here but there may be a bit of confusion in spelling going on beteen Wade Giles which is what it is likely any older SOuthern stylists would use and Pinyin which is more prevalent today and in te North all together.

Ts is Wade Giles
 
Wing Chun? I have little to no experience in CMAs, so I may be wrong.

oops, it probably would have helped if I said that

"ts" in Wade Giles is the same as a "c" in pinyin

OK, now it's coming together for me. I've seen the Chinese name for Kung Fu San Soo alternately begin with tsoi and choy (same meaning, different spellings). Again, thanks for the clarification. Learned several languages years ago--too old to learn Chinese now:whip1: .

Jimmy Woo told me once that he considered San Soo (Tsoi Li Ho Fut Hung) a Southern and Northern system as it was practiced in both. But I do think alot of people think of it as a Southern Art.
