		NAHA TE=GOJU RYU, founded by chojun miyagi, goju translates as follows go(hard) ju(soft,gentle) so it is a blend of soft circular (ju) blocks combined with hard and strong counters (go)....all soft is weak, but all hard is stiff and breakable.

		also more important than style is the realization that most of them do many of the same kata, with only slight variations.....and ALL of them come from three main sources...shorin ryu, goju ryu, and uechi ryu.

		Kung fu is typically divided into two main categories - external/hard and internal/soft systems.
		The distinctions drawn between the "external/hard" and "internal/soft" can be misleading, for elements of one sometimes find their way into the other; cf.

		Nathan Fisher, a San Diego-based choy li fut instructor and the head of five White Dragon Martial Arts schools, considers the snake form to be one of the more important concepts in choy li fut.
		Since the form uses both hard and soft power, they must be able to deliver soft, circular force with their arms and hard, external power with their hands.
		Therefore, it's essential for martial artists who practice the snake form to keep their body supple and in motion at all times.
