Hello Everyone,
So I am still in my first year of kung fu training (based in Urumqi, China presently, although I have studied abit at the Shaolin Temple) and I have stumbled upon an issue with variations in training and forms. I have encountered this with Wu Bu Quan, Lian Huan Quan and with Jiu Jie Bian training where different instructors have variations in their technique (slightly different footwork, variations on open palms or fists for different parts of the form.)

I am wondering what is the polite way to highlight to someone that you recognize that they are teaching you one way, but that you have also seen it done another way. I am starting to get very frustrated because I am attempting to understand the variations, but it means practicing a few different ways, which annoys the instructors. I mean I feel like what I learned at the Shaolin Temple is probably correct, but I also want to be respectful to other instructors. I also encounter a language barrier which does not help the situation.

Any advice would be appreciated
