How can you list differetially Hop-Gar as External & Lama as Internal? They are essentially the same system? Which White Crane are you referring to? Fukien or Tibetan? What do you mean by 'Lion'? If you mean Tibetan Lion's Roar then the same applies as above.

The Tibetan Pai are rooted in the Tantric Buddhist sect and are infused with the 'internal' in all of its aspects.

There is too much 'off-the-cuff' and cursory labelling of pai as 'internal' or 'external'.

Research the Tibetan arts you will be surprised.
