i agree with everything except the internal external thing. every real kung fu style should use internal strength and should develop their chi

Not all did, some were influenced and mixed into the native styles. Like Karate, yes, based on Kung fu, BUT is different then Kung fu because it was mixed with Okinawan martial art "Te". Korea has Taekkyun, first time to chamber kicks was in Korea, they have their own kicks not from China. Japanese Kendo (Sword) that is not Chinese at all. As long as people fought, people made systems of combat, weather China showed them or not.

I personally like Northern styles better, because the kicks and punches are thrown much harder and more powerful and seem to flow together well. but also I LOVE wingchun, so... I don't know lol

I love all animal styles, but my favorite is Snake Style.

What he should have said was "in general" southern styles are short range. Ofcourse there is long range techniques in some, probably even EVERY style. How else can you have a complete system? Even a really close system like Wing Chun has SOME long range attacks.

I do know what he meant by it but I don't agree with the way he put it. I know you shouldn't limit yourself to a style, but how else do we put a name on the kind of Kung Fu you are practising and identify where and when you learnt it? It's important for documentation of and communication about the combination of techniques you use.
