Choy Lay Fut (also called Choy Li Fut or Cai Li Fo) is a fighting style used by Ermac and Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. It combines the martial arts techniques from various northern and southern Chinese martial arts. Choy Lay Fut is also an effective defensive style particularly when dealing with more than one attacker. Of course it does have its own uniqueness such as, twisting the upper torso to gain more power for hand and arm techniques. Another one calls for the practitioner to tilt their body at an angle towards the opponent in order to reduce the target area exposed to him, and gives the practitioner far better reach.
