From the Paper:

"Martial Arts fighting styles are as varied and different as we humans who seek to employ them. Even two people who train in the same discipline will bring to it their own unique style and flavor. No where in popular cinema is this more evident then in the fighting styles of Jackie Chan. Chan uses the basic tenants of many martial arts disciplines and brings them together to one constructive fighting style force. The contrast between different styles and especially Chan's own style is illustrated in his film, "Who Am I?""
