There are many commonalities, as Karate was an offshoot of Kung Fu. The differences are vast! To name some I would say the usage of Wing Chun's forward spiral forearm known as the Bong Sau. It is not at all anything like Jodan Age Uke (Rising Arm Block). Another that pops out of my mind is the Tai Chi and Bagua Techniques..especially Tai Chi Fa Jing (explosive Force) methods such as Pressing Force or Gi Jing and Baguazhang's Whirlwind Palms (Zheng Chuan Zhang). the Shaolin Animal styles and the way taolu/kata are performed.
