I was wondering if anyone had experiences with different mother stances of different branches of wing chun?
I know many wing chun styles use the pigeon toed stance, or at least with the hip joints rotated inward so the knees point down and in like a triangle.
has anyone had experiences with stances similar to pan nam wing chun's wider and paralleled foot/knee stance?
has anyone had experiences using a narrower parrallel foot/knee stance like the neutral stance of tai chi where the feet are sholder width apart and the knees are just bent naturally and weight sunken?
Has anyone had experiences where the feet/knees are turned in but the the hips are not rotated up/ pulled up/ pushed forward (however you want to say that), and that the hips are just sunken staight down?
have any of these different variations on the mother stance (yee jee kim yeung ma) worked better or worse for you?
Have any of these different variations worked better for shifting/turning stance than others?
I think its kinda apparent my direction of pondering here, there's no need to answer each quesiton specifically, just kinda tell me what ya think if that works for you.
