LOL, I don't have any lenses except a fighting lens, or at least a fighting application lens... WC was my second major art, and I've picked up a fair few grades in a fair few other arts, sparring exp and unfortunately real exp over the years.
I think you're looking at me through a BnB's own history lens!
I have never 'played' with any other art... I've even my non-martial taichi in sparring through application of its principles to my other arts techniques...
Fortunately I don't get confused by doing more than one art at a time, and have only rarely slipped into stances or whatever from my others... as long as I can use it I don't care what it is!
I've heard from my WC buddies that this guy's power generation is good, that he's got 'something'... if he's as good as they say, I'll stick with it, if not I'll have to reassess my time, having to divide it between WC, battoujutsu/iaido/kendo which I want to get back to, and shoot-wrestling as it is.
I know HI is different, I'm going in with an empty cup. The question I was asking is in what ways!
And still nobody's answeredQuote:
The big difference between WC and XY is the shenfa. Xingyi uses an entirely different method of body movement than Wing Chun.
what this is!!!
And wtf is this...
???!!!:confused:Quote:
In two words, the 'biggest' difference I see is "power generation" - and the results of it.
If it's too much typing, esp since I'm starting next week... I understand!!!
But please, will people stop trying to tell me how I'm seeing things or how I'm going to see things, or pretending to 'explain' things in two words!!!:)
Cheers for your contributions.
I'll let you know what I think next week!
