bigfootsquatch,
Thanks for posting that clip. Fu Sheng yuan is of course Fu Zhong Wen's son so this form is very close to Fu Zhong Wen's form and the form being promoted by the Yang family today.
Very best wishes
XS,
what important differences do you see in the forms?
Respectfully,
Marlon
marlon,
In Step Up to Raise Hands the right foot is pointing straight ahead in an empty stance. In order to transition to White Crane, the front foot must be re-positioned to 45 degrees, therefore the WEIGHT is pulled back before re-positioning the right foot to 45 degrees (actually temporararily going into horse stance as the left foot is also at 45 degrees) before re-positioning the left foot into empty stance for White Crane. The transition from Raise Hands to White Crane, also includes Shoulder Stroke/Strike which is also a reason for re-positioning the right foot and transferring the weight. As I understand it, this is also the way that Yang Jun teaches it. Perhaps your instructor has mis-interpreted something?
Hope this helps
Very best wishes
Look at the side by side comparisons I posted the link to. I would omit the first one however because it appears to me that Jun is at a different point in white crane spreads its wings form Fu and Tung.
what differences do you see btwn the father and son's form?
