contradictory?? how?
if the style came out of shaolin (i.e originated in the temple) then its a shaolin style
if it is take from shaolin movements (and then refined, mixed) then it is a grey area (such as internal arts, wing-chun, some mizong styles, chin-woo)
if its a style with some shaolin forms in it....its not shaolin.
I think, therefore I am awake!
It's easier to learn to do it now and maintain it in old age than to try and learn it in old age.
The world is my oyster.....Unfortunately I'm vegtarian.
