Thank you for the advice. I think that from what I understand, if I understand correctly, Wing Chun incorporates many of the 'animal' styles that I like ( dragon, crane etc. is this correct?). I think that I would like to approach clubs that teach this style of Kung Fu.
Anything else I should consider if one likes the animal styles? Is Praying Mantis something else again?
The various names of the different styles I find rather confusing, not all that descriptive!
Is there a history chart some where that shows how the various styles developed?
Thanks again, Glenn
The Praying Mantis system is a complete system not just a "style" within a system, and very diffrent then the 5 Animals of Shaolin.
Check the Praying Mantis forum on this site for more info on the system.

Its not what goes in a man that defile's him, its what comes out.

well skarbro goes to the mantis school as he mentioned.
for sure he would have more info on it than me.
But seriously, take your time, look around, get the feel of a school.
You could even read the what to look for in a kungfu school article in this site.
It's a pretty fair assessment.
The animals of wing chun as I understand are Snake and Crane.
It's a good short boxing style. It is also popular and there are many schools. As Kung Fu goes, you can learn the style pretty quickly, but again as it is with all styles of chinese martial arts, they take some time to get good at.
cheers and good luck.

Kung Fu is good for you.
I've heard about The Jing Mo Kung Fu club in Toronto.
Sifu James Lore is the head of the Jing Mo Kung Fu Club in Toronto, Ontario. The Jing Mo Kung Fu club teaches the Hung Gar style of Kung fu.
The Jing Mo club was started in the 1960s when the government gave a grant for the Chinese community. Sifu Lore was one of the first Canadian martial arts teachers to teach Kung fu to non-chinese students.
Its current teacher seems to be an Irish stick fighter:
