Wing chun is an amazing art in that it gives you everything straight up.
Every technique that is possible for the body to perform can be attained just through wing chun and maybe some strength or flexibility training.
But that is also wing chun's biggest flaw. It trains technique very fast, but it is impossible for wing chun to train the spirit.
That flaw shows like a sore when you look at it's practioners.
They get caught up in lineage and slight differences in technique and forget about the free flowing scource.
The whole point is that there is no technique.
If you understand the spirit of fighting, every technique is a good technique and every position is an adventagous position!
And with that, who cares about technique! Who cares about lineage! Just understand the limitlessness of it and there won't be any problem!
Do you lean back or lean foreward or stay centered. There is no answer! The answer is yes to all!
What matters is the spirit and the flow. Without that, you have nothing.
