Ok guys this might sound like a troll post but read on some good questions for you.
Firstly Ill start off by saying I did "trad" Wing chun William cheung lineage for quite a few years.
Also trained with him on 3 seminars.... Very commercial but nice guy anyway.... On to the topic
Over time looking at different styles you come to gain ability as you progress and think wow .. example of yielding and suppleness from tai chi footwork from bagua power from hung gar etc etc .. some very basic examples
When I look at wing chun I see the potential for all these things but I dont see them being taught
Example
In lessons you learn your punches do your forms ... sometimes applications have nothing to do with how its done in the form ... do your pak sau chi sau etc... When it comes to sparring if you fight guys from other schools you use your hands like Wt and your kicks like a taekwon do kikcboxer dude.
My point
Wing chun basic straight punch is called noy moon chie or sun fist ... meaning its an internal strike ... a strike with jing explosion. No not the inch punch... how many of you learn this as an internal strike
The chi sau ... everyone say its sticking hands for sensitivity ... blah it sfor cultivating energy....
The sticking legs ... is how to avoid using kickboxing kicks... closr the gap and stick to the legs...
Sil lim tao take ages to perform it creater lots of internal power
etc etc etc
How many of you actually practise wing chun traditionally like this... ?
Secondly how many of you practise a lineage that is not under yip man ??
I have read that there are 5 different lineages other than yip mans some of them have lots of different forms in them like moi fah kuen and things like this...
Austing gohs lineage has arrow punch form sand bag form kicking form all in true winch chun fashion....
Anyone ??
