White fighting, meaning bare-handed Martial Arts, both External Boxing and Internal Boxing, leg techniques, palm techniques, and Horizontal Training all belong to this category.
Below the major categories are the divisions of Martial Arts schools, styles, and geographical distribution.
Early Martial Arts were divided into northern and southern schools, later into internal and external schools, with Internal Boxing represented by Tai Chi, Xinyi, and Eight Trigrams, while External Boxing is collectively referred to as Shaolin.
The five main schools of Martial Arts later were: Kongtong, Wudang, Shaolin, Emei Sect, and Kunlun Sect.
Since most Martial Arts under heaven are derived from Shaolin stances, even Wudang Martial Arts have quite a few like that, hence the saying that all martial skills originate from Shaolin, which is not an exaggeration.
