Sure we have a choice, but many of us have experiance in more than one style, and naturally they blend in a confrontation.
The issue is making sure your not trying to blend incompatable and oposing skills and hindering yourself.
Since I myself am skilled in Shaolin Kung Fu as well as having been exposed to other arts like Tai Tzu Quan, I actually believe your better off just doing one art. The Chinese arts are well rounded as a whole, and everything you need should be found in your primary style. The key is picking a primary style you really like.
Sometimes you have little choice as you must work with the teachers close to you. So you end up being very blended, but if you can lean one system soundly, that is the best.
