Hi PQS!
A famous martial artist Dr.Yang Jwing Ming (practitioner of fujian and many other arts) has written a book called "Essence of White Crane kung-fu".It is a large book with lots of theory,work out,forms,techniques and information.
He has been doing this kung-fu for a long time under a master.
He has also done other books which display white crane techniques,like "How to defend yourself".
I canīt say that I would know very much about it,but as there are different kinds of white crane,there are white crane styles created by both men and women.
I know there are/is style(s) that teach VERY high kicks (which seem crazy to me) and which arenīt considered good for self-defense (but I guess that is not your major concern).
At the end of the day,I guess you should go check out that school,ask some questions that concern you and they may possibly let you join a class for free for some "practical" experience (or at least watch).
Good luck!
The sunsetīs setting down.Lay me on the forest floor.
