I guess I could see a use for high bong sao + tan sao, but low bong sao + tan sao?

theres quite a few uses. passively tan + low bong can be used to redirect a kick, aggressively it can be used to cleave into the centerline, somewhere in the middle it can be used to regain the centerline if you've lost it. if you could do chi sau, you'd see the uses of it are quite numerous once you've practiced the motion.
thanks kj- ever so often I get it right<g>
bong tan sequentially with the same hand or bong with one and tan with the other with near simultaneity- both are very useful wing chun motions. But the proper structures for each need to be understood and developed.
BTW- urge great care about redirecting a powerful kick witha kwan sao. Can be done and I can do and show when I need to.
Needs very good timing and structure. I urge great care and relative beginners should not kwan a powerful shotokan or
Oyama kick- they can break your hands.
