相关门派 The Sort of Kung Fu 中国武术门派之多，在世界武术中也是非常少见的。据 统计，中国目前有“历史清楚，脉络有序，风格独特，自成 体系”的拳种约300多个。 郭希汾的《中国体育史》中提到门派众多是由于南北地理、 气候、人的不同而造成的。北方人身材高大，北方气候严寒 造成北派拳术气势雄劲，大开大合。南方多水，南方人身材 矮小，拳术也比较细腻。谚语也有“南拳北腿”之说。当然 这并不是绝对的，例如起源自北方的八卦掌就很少用腿攻击， 而南方的咏春拳却有不少腿击技巧。中国武术的流派繁多， 却没有统一的命名方法。有些按地区命名（如河南派心意 拳）；一些按山脉、河流（如武当派）；有以宗师姓氏命名 （如杨氏太极拳）……以往，这些流派会以主修内功、外功来 粗略划分，成为内家拳和外家拳两大类。
