How should the foot be position for proper fudo(sochin) dachi

In the two images, I think both of them have similar back foot angle, but the front is not. The image on the right is more inward facing, which one is the more proper way? Specifically for Sochin kata?

Hey everyone, looking for some help!

I’m currently training in Shotokan, but I have a background in Goju-ryu and Ryuei-ryu. My dojo director suggested I keep practicing my old Goju and Ryuei katas so I don't lose them, but I’ve definitely forgotten a fair bit of the Ryuei-ryu stuff.

I’ve been using "26 Shotokan Katas" by Jose Ramon Alvarez and I love the style—the step-by-step pictorial references really work for me.

Does anyone have recommendations for similar books for Goju-ryu or Ryuei-ryu? I’m looking for:

  • Clear, step-by-step photos/drawings.
  • Easy-to-follow layout.
  • Ideally available on Amazon.

Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks!
