Am sure it's already been hit upon many times by most everyone...
What you had originally mentioned about strokes...ie Foster, Ford..etc....had nothing to do with Style per se! Different strokes for different types of water and different intentions...

maybe it's about time for you to begin imparting some of your wisdom and vast life experiences upon us young man
now... let's refocus on figuring out how to make these strangely odd forms of watercraft move around in the water... has anyone called NASA yet? maybe we could consult some of those former soviet block engineers and scientists to solve this dilema for us.
Ahh, but not true, E-Hops, although I was once photographed with one of Frannie's clubs in my hands about to put the hurt to a piece of driftwood on the shores of Lake Superior.
As far as styles go, there are definitely more than 1 way being taught. Immerse yourself in whatever style is being taught to you at the time. Do not question the teacher during instruction, so as to fully understand their method. When all done take the parts that fit best to your ability and boat and integrate them into your repertoir. Generally bigger boats and bigger water lend themselves to paddling from the rear. Small boats and precision from the front. Think cars and trucks; How many front wheel drive trucks do you come across. Me? I paddle from the bow mostly.
