Just a curiousity im hoping some of the dedicated wing chunners on the board on the board might be able to answer.
Ive played around in my time with quite a few Wing Chun exponents at various levels of skill.
Im always intreagued at the little differences and variances which seem to occur between the different linages.
This quite commen in most fighting based arts to my understanding as at some point people begin to make a system there 'own' and as such tailor it to there own personal needs. As such im certainly not trying to get at what is the 'true' method but am more interested in the how and why the little differences occured.
What im hoping is people might be able to provide is a shortlist of some of the unique or 'special' features of the various WC linages.
Im not trying to start a war here so please no 'our way is right others are wrong'.
Anyway thanks to all who post and im especialy intersted to hear from people who have actively put in time in different linages schools.
