care to elaborate a bit? i think i may know, but would rather not assume...
would u mind to help with some terminology to keep us all on the same page? i'm reading chuen kiu "drilling bridge", got sau "slicing bridge." no? so do u feel these bridges from CLF derive from choy ga? could be a common link.(i'm tryin to think of the sequence u speak of in small tiger)
aren't darting horse and mouse stepping basically the same thing? is this what u refer to as half stepping(foward slide- step/shuffle)? in my school, we refer to half step as in "sei ping baat foon ma"(half-step horse). we should try to put our terms on the same level to avoid confusion, huh ;)
::nod:: we're in agreeance. i would probably say that one way to distinguish CLF from jow ga is the way the two "float, sink, swallow, spit." i think the different ways/times we root is prolly different as well. jus some of my own observations. looking foward to more input!
Essentially the bin ging is enough to be a little bit more than what a Hung Kuen practitioner would utilize during a gwa/sow sequence, but there is enough reserve energy within the move that the sow choy does not cross the person's centerline (like how a CLF player would- i.e. massive amount of follow through). So it's almost a kin to hung kuen's "gold star hook" technique.
