Learn Five Animal Style Kung Fu
Shaolin Frog
Some kung fu animal style are highly effective and are obviously based on wanting to emulate characteristics that would be useful to a fighter, such as strength, flexibility, speed, ferocity and so on. Other styles were created primarily for display purposes, for putting on professional shows or to attract new students to a school by offering a unique style. the Frog, or Toad, is one of the wackier 'display styles', and it certainly fulfills its brief because it is very entertaining to watch.

Scorpion Kung Fu
Another rare and unusual animal style, only practiced by a group of monks at the Shaolin Temple as far as I am aware. It's quite showy but does have some good practical techniques in it too. This video demonstration gives you a good glimpse of what it is like.

Snake Kung Fu
You must have very good flexibility to effectively use the snake style. Very low stances are common, strikes are very fast. The hands are kept open, and it is common to strike with the fingers or with the knife hand form to the neck and other soft areas.
