Excerpt from Wikipedia for Choy Lay Fut[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choi_Lei_Fut]—————————————————————————————————–Choy Li Fut 蔡李佛 combines the martial arts techniques from various Northern and Southern Chinese kung-fu systems[2]; the powerful arm and hand techniques from the Shaolin animal forms[3]  from the South, combined with the extended, circular movements, twisting body, and agile footwork that characterizes Northern China’s martial arts. It is considered an external style, combining soft and hard techniques as well as incorporating a wide range of weapons as part of its curriculum [4]. Choy Li Fut is an effective self defense system[5]  particularly noted for defense against multiple attackers[6]. It contains a wide variety of techniques, including long and short range punches, kicks, sweeps and take downs, pressure point attacks, joint locks, and grappling.[7]”Choy Li Fut is the most effective system that I’ve seen for fighting more than one person. [It] is one of the most difficult styles to attack and defend against. Choy Li Fut is the only style [of kung fu] that traveled to Thailand to fight the Thai boxers and hadn’t lost.” – Bruce Lee
