I love Wing Chun. I think out of all the Chinese martial arts it's probably got the most applications an average person could use. I like that it was geared towards the poor to learn self-defense and to train it all you need is a small space and a dummy. Even people out of shape can do it, I believe Sammo Hung trained in it and he's a big dude.

Second love is Mantis Kung Fu, it's just so goofy and it's my favorite animal style.

This one for sure. There's a movie that features the style, "Only the Strong", and while it was cool to see it featured, the movie is pretty meh and doesn't have nearly as much fighting as you'd want to see a crazy and rarely shown style in action.
