What is for certain is that Jow Ga exhibits many of the traits found within Northern Shaolin boxing such as lightness in footwork, as the footwork taught within Jow Ga is not as heavy as other traditional Southern styles.

Also, many northern styles are known for their leaps and jumping kicks. The Jow Ga system contains more aerial kicks than most other southern styles. Kicks such as the Lin Wan Toi (Double Kick), Shin Fung Toi (Tornado Kick), and the Fei Wang Yaung Toi (Flying Side Kick) are all taught within the system.

In the Jow Ga version of the Ng Ying Kuen (5 Animal Fist) there is a special type of Flying Side Kick that is commonly seen in the modern Wu Shu Nan Chuan (Southern Fist) form called Fei Fu Mei Toi (Flying Tiger Tail Kick). This kick is executed like the standard Flying Side Kick, however, instead of landing back on one’s feet a practitioner lands in body drop position on the left side of the body with the kicking leg still extended.

The form Man Jeet Kuen (10,000 Shape Fist) has the leg technique know as Lin Wan Toi which translates a continued kicking method.
