There are certainly more than 3 internal styles, but Hsing I, Tai Chi, and Baqua are the three most well known internal styles quoted, and each differs enough to warrant inclusion. Linear forms in Baqua? I don't know enough about the different styles and variations to say w/ certainty. I don't
know Baqua and am a long way from being an expert. I only learned two forms, and they were both circle walking. Linear techniques were present in both. I've seen linear drills, which are technically forms if taught as such. Not sure if this answers your question.
