No? That was a theory some people presented.
My guess is that it's tail related.

They are related like so:
"Some?" As for the rest:

I took it to mean something else, but I edited the post to make it so that it's less certain on my part, just in case I'm wrong.

A Frank Discussion
"Styles, what are they really?" Your mom says, beginning today's lesson. "They certainly aren't what our Ancestor's practised, despite being named in their honour. The Styles use the same techniques, but our Ancestors obviously used them differently. The Styles we use aren't even what we think they used, but instead they are their different approaches to battle. Tell me Kakara, based on the techniques you've learned, which styles would they fall into?"
"Honestly," You muse, "My techniques are based more around Goku Style, rather than Tien Style. People even said that my fighting is kind of like Goku's."
Your mom smiles approvingly. "And that's how it should be. Using those techniques in battle, people generally gravitate towards the same tricks and solutions. You would do things that a Goku Stylists might do, and even though you just started learning, now you might do things that a Tien Stylist might do. Styles are formal studies into these tricks and solutions, so that rather than having to figure out everything by yourself, you can benefit from the experiences that the people before you have had. Not only is this much faster, it's also lowers the chances you get into bad habits. "
"So what you're basically saying is that, people started using techniques that our Ancestors were famous for just because they used them, and then created the Styles trying to make them work?"
"Pretty much. It's not like there was any way we could see how our Ancestor's actually used them, so we had to make up our own styles. The names really only acted as a quick identifier and made want to learnt them more, since they add some prestige value."
You stick out your tongue at that cheekily. "Well, you can't. Nothing stops me from learning by watching Tien directly."
That actually caused mom to pause and actually think about it. "I didn't think of that. Sight and Magic changes a lot of things, doesn't it?"
You just grin at her.
"Ha ha, but don't think that would actually help you, young lady. Didn't I just say that our Styles are completely different from what the Ancestor's used? Just watching might give you some insights into fighting in general, but these Styles are products of centuries of innovation, and have a lot of literature dedicated to them not to mention actual teachers. "
"Well I could, never said I would, mom." You reply sheepishly, and shelve your plans of using the Sight to learn faster. Topic change! "So what are we planning to do today?"
Your mom smiles knowingly at you, but then gets serious. "As I was getting to, we'll be doing some sparring practise today. I know you learn better from direct teaching and don't like fighting as much, but this is something we have to do if you want to make the Style your own. You have the basics down, but you need learn how to use them in a real fight. Are you ready for that, Kakara?"
"I…" You fidget a bit as you think of how to say this. You don't think you've really vocalised this yet, have you?
Your mother tilts her head, clearly wondering what you would say. But she waits patiently, as you think this through. She knew what you were doing.
"I've thinking about this a lot, recently," you begin slowly. "Ever since the scouts, you know? And I think I'll be fine now. I know what I want, and I want to protect everyone. I need to know how to fight."
You looked your mother in the eye as you said it, and some emotion you didn't recognise flickered through her at that. Then she sighed and pulled you into a hug. "You always grow up really fast, you know that?" She pulls you away and smiles. "I'm proud of you. Now, we're still in the middle of a lesson, so let's hit the mat."
You smile back. "Thanks mom. Now I hope I don't beat you too bad."
Your mother's smile turns very saiyin as she hears your reply. "Did I mention power levels are restricted?"
Crap.

Another? My, you work fast. Non-canon since Mato hasn't gotten that far yet, but I like it. Bonus going to your upcoming training with Mato.
If I answer, "spoilers," it simply means, "yes or no, my answer would spoil something." My answer on whether or not Endivan and Jaffur Style are related is a solid, "no comment."
Few days ago. I'm surprised you didn't notice earlier.
Now this, this is compliant. You really are writing quickly lately. Obviously, your style training for the year already, "happened," mechanically, so it can't go to that, but it'll go towards your next Tenshinhan Style training.

Yes, in that saiyan psychiatrists exist.
There are three of them, between the clans.

...do they use shonen therapy? How do they manage with the different PL?
Right, new things to add to the bucket list: more saiyan therapists, and get some who can be trusted with otherwise secret knowledge.
Perhaps it would have helped stop this entire mess, starting from House Talt rebelling, from happening in the first place.

Guys, we have to do this next turn.
Actually, I purposely didn't mention any explicit time frame so that this scene could happen any time in the future. But it's fine either way.
Also, this is nothing. I once wrote 10+ omakes in like half a day for an RP I was following. I'm just hard to motivate.
Hopefully!Guys, we have to do this next turn.

Nah, just plain old therapy.
Thing is, it's difficult to motivate saiyans to enter a field with so little prestige attached -- with so little fighting or demonstration of ki skill, psychology, psychiatry, and its doctors and nurses are not held in high esteem, even ignoring the prejudice that exists in real-life against such arts. That there are as many as there are is actually the result of a years-long campaign on Berra's part to de-stigmatize it by reframing it as just another part of the medical field -- which is much more respected, likely due to the prevalence of ki healing.

And with a new likebomber making their way through the early updates, the cycle begins again. We have somebody new making their way in!
*sighs* Its going to take decades to break that out of them, barring Gohan and/or Vegeta descending to beat it out of them.
We may have to fill that gap with Garenhulders in the meantime, but that has a good chance of making the situation worse.

Crane Style
The original Crane School was founded by Master Shen, and was practiced by the then-famous assassin Mercenary Tao. While Tien Shinhan and Chaotzu were considered students of the school, they split away quite early due to Master Roshi's influence. While originally considered a peer to the Turtle Style, today it is considered superior in its function and design. It is the first style to have integrated true ki-based combat and can be considered able to survive and even perform admirably against almost all modern styles.Despite existing long before the Z-fighters true formation, its involved techniques included flight, the Dodonpa and the original Kikoho technique.
Despite its purported advantages, the modern Exile Society this Style has never been openly practised and exists only in a hypothetical form. This is because it is an assassin's art and focuses on killing and crippling the enemy over all else, burning even one's life force in the process. Such an art is nearly obsolete in Garenhuld and viewed only as a barbaric philosophy. Perhaps because of that, exposure to this style is considered an important step in the study of Tenshinhan Style, in order to stem overuse of life force and to impress upon students what awaits them when they engage in such extreme practices.
Involved techniques: Lethality [Extreme], Flight, Dodonpa, Kikoho
Penalized techniques: Non-lethal attacks [Crippling]

No four witches or taioken? Tien knew them in the 22nd tournament so presumably he learnt them from Shen.Crane Style
