A lot of the Kempo forms in the colored belt levels are pretty plain and basic. However, once you get into 3rd black and above, you start getting into the animal forms like Snake, Dragon, Tiger. Still, the stances are not going to be as low and as perfect as you Traditional Chinese Martial Artist.
As an example:
When I took my black belt test for Shaolin Kempo, we did not have to hold stances or were critiqued for them.
When I took my test in Ying Jow Pai, Sil Lum and my current school for long fist, part of the test is holding your stances for specified period of time. At black belt level they expect you to have to hold it and keep your thigh parallel to the ground.
Shaolin Kempo, basically foregoes the classical stances. It really is not a true Shaolin Arts per se. It is somewhat of a misnomer, however it is as close to CMA you would get from an American derived system.
American Kenpo (Ed Parkers system) is even worse in there forms.
For classical forms, stances and proper way of rooting yourself, nothing beats classical kung fu.
