In one interview he did in the early 90s, he said he got into pretty much every MA style that he would know of. So it's safe to say that he's well trained all those styles you mentioned, making him a mixed martial artist.

He studied some Wing Chun and Tai Chi under his mother, not from either of IP clan.
