Shaolin Kung Fu (both Northern & Southern) is made up of many styles. Naturally some are more popular than others, examples of the more popular techniques are as follows:

  1. Eagle Claw Kung Fu,
  2. Tiger Boxing,
  3. Mantis Boxing etc.

There are others which are often talked about but which are not seen very often e.g.

  1. Drunken Boxing,
  2. Monkey Boxing (extremely rare and secretive),
There are still others that do not get spoken about as much. These include such techniques as
  • Scorpion,
  • Centipede,
  • Frog,
  • Duck,
  • Grasshopper,
  • Leopard,
  • White Eye Brows(Bak Mei or Pak Mei),
  • Hop Gar (Lama Kung Fu),
  • Lau Family Hung Gar (as seen in the movie "Mad Monkey Kung Fu").

I have not been able to find images and/or videos of all the above techniques, however, this section provides information on a few of those that I have found.
