Some more information on Feeding Crane:

Origins:
It is said that when the Southern Shaolin Temple was burned down by the Qing soldiers one of the monks, Fang Wai Shi—a master of LuoHan Boxing— escaped and ended up hiding in Sand Lotus Temple near FuChow. Taking part in normal life again, Fang had a daughter, Qi-Niang. He taught her his art and she developed good skills. One day, when doing her wash, she spotted a White Crane on her fence. Fearing the bird would soil her clothes she threw rocks at it and tried to shove it off the fence with a pole. But the bird kept evading her attacks, moving this way and that. She realizes that the crane had a superior “kung fu” and had a revelation about her own boxing. She added a form of footwork called Kun Yan Bu.

Thank you Gene. I will let the event sponsor take care of it. I was invited and I figured there might some others out there that might have interest in checking out specially after the great Feeding Crane article in Kung Fu Tai Chi

In this one, the last few defenses are exactly like those in Okinawan Goju kata bunkai.
