The Chinese Martial Arts basically consists of five "ways":
|Striking||Includes all techniques of palms, fists, knees, elbows, shoulders, fore-arms, head, thighs (does not include different school's special techniques like the eagles claws, the beak of the crane, the mantis hands, etc.)|
|Kicking||Includes all types of techniques of kicking (both northern and southern schools of China)|
|Joint Locks||Sevety-two (72) techniques of different joint breaking and locking|
|Throwing||Thirty-six techniques (36) of throwing|

There are innumerable schools of Kung Fu in both Northern
and Southern parts of China. Among some of the well known schools are:
Northern China - Wing Chun School, Bart Kuar Clan, Ying Yee, Northern Praying Mantis, Eagle Claw School, Tam Tuei, Springing Leg, Northern Sil Lum, Law Hon, Lost Track School, Wa K'ung, Ch'a K'ung, Monkey Style, Chuiang Kung P'ai.
Southern China - Wing Chun School, Southern Praying Mantis, Dragon Style, White Crane School, Northern Sil Lum, Choy Lay Fut, Hung K'ung, Choy Ga, Fut Ga, Mok Ga, Yal Gung Moon, Li Ga, Lau Ga, etc.
Then these clans are separated into so-called internal and extenal schools. Here we are not concerned with them.
