I think his intent was to identify the major groups or classes of punching styles.

No, I think there are definitely difference in hand strikes from System to System. A chop in Karate is done differently than a chop in Jujutsu, and within Jujutsu there are different JJ schools that strike differently from eachother. Each school fo MA has different ways of looking at strikes. Most of the strikes we do are to hit you and take your balance at the same time, only to follow up with more strikes or some kind of take down. So striking varies from System to System.
