I'm a bit confused about your Analogues here: from the G:G illos, I'd have said Dragon style was something (ever so vaguely) like aikido, while Centipede was faintly shotokan-ish.

Or if not, the MA styles could be resort of the Poor Repressed Peasants, clinging to their disapproved-off hsunchen roots...
