There are only a few differences in the 1st level to the second level....

mainly with the punches, they in essence break down into 4 directions (the easiest way to describe it is imagine a pai kiu with fung an choi fist to the front gates then carry this through to a normal gin choi) at the end of each gin choi there is a bill jee then a strike in 4 directions (with a flat spear hand) out, in, up and down then you close down to dou sau with a tearing movement to finish... (if you know sapt baat um gen sau same movements) there are also some sharp quick moves in the first 8 cycles to help bring out the gen power (oh yes and there are 2 kicks in this form). difficult to explain you need to be taught it really, and I have seen different versions as well..
