Fuzhou White Crane could be broadly condensed into:-
1. MingChiang Line.
2. Kutien Line.

Apart from forms, they both share related concepts and principles.
The Kutien Line begins with its own "Sanzhan" or "SanChiem" and then move on to "8 Steps" and "4 Corners".

Each also teaches slightly different style of "5 elements" hand.

I recall seeing a similar form presentation in Okinawa some years ago.
Is there an association of Fuzhou White Crane as the origin of many Okinawan system(s)? Sanchen is the equivalent of a neigong training method though forming a base for understanding the jibengong of many arts.

Hi yeriseri, Goju-ryu has a strong association with Fuzhou whooping crane kung fu (http://www.jundokan.org.uk/whitecrane.htm) and the influence of white crane can also be seen it other schools of karate.
