Wu Taiji Differences?

What is the difference between the Ontario, Canada Wu Family Wu Style and the Ma Family Wu Style?

[scholar]

Canada is 5th generation from Eddie Wu, who learned the form from his grandfather, 3rd generation Wu Gongyi, Wu Jianquan's oldest son; and from his own father, 4th generation Wu Dakui, Wu Gongyi's oldest son. Wu Gongyi's lineage teaches a noticeably smaller circle version of the Wu style at first, that they call the "knuckle form" or "close joint form" 關節拳.

Shanghai's Ma Yueliang was Wu Jianquan's #1 disciple, which makes him also 3rd generation, and Ma married Jianquan's daughter Wu Yinghua, so his children (the current Shanghai teachers) are Wu Jianquan's grandsons. Their teaching form is more like Wu Jianquan's.
