No one can speak for all of wing chun. I do wing chun..I don't graft on things that conflict with my
wing chun structure, mechanics and dynamics. I don't do KG's version of PB's version of WC.
Hooks, uppercuts, knees and elbows are there in my hand forms and the dummy form- the knees are specially in the later sections of the dummy form and my sigung learned these things from Ip Man himself with whom he spent many long hours...before Ip chun joined his father. I respect Ip Man's students but there were differences among them on when, how and what they learned
from the grande maestro.
And what I do does not violate wc principles of simultaneity of attack.defense, motion linkages,
dealing with what comes etc. My wc is not western boxing. Words may be the same but the details of motions are style specific.
KG cannot generalize for every lineage of wing chun -though he tries.Just as I don't speak for what PB does.pr KG does or VK does.
