Some of these feats are normal ole general feats like improved trip or improved grapple, but others are in a category of "special martial arts feats" which can only be taken if you have the base martial arts style feat in which it appears as part of the list of feats associated with the style.  These are feats such as "flying kick", "pain touch", "bear hug", etc. . .A fighter who wants to be a martial arts specialist could just take the base feat and then use his bonus feats to gain the ones in the style,  My revamped monk gets a free martial arts feat from their style every four levels.In addition, most styles come with a free proficiency in a weapon the style teaches, and in the case of monks, these count as special monk weapons to that character.I found this to be a simple of effective system to emulate "style" without becoming burdened with a bunch of new rules.</blockquote>
