Yes I understood that was what you were trying to explain.

My experience is if you start by learning technique through using it you find out the how's and whys pretty quickly.
I really do not think your two examples are different. In the first you say...
I really wonder if this is true. I think what really is useful in designing your training is experience. Without the experience what would your basis for thinking about things be? What I mean is you...
I am not a believer in the good old days. I think things were actually much much worse in the old days and I think the reason for the I've got the real goods syndrome is that it has been passed down...
I think this is lineage. Lineage is a specific text book on wing chun. I used the YKS text book and you used a different text book. The information may be arranged different with different emphasis...
I took all that stuff out since it wasn't related to the topic just your paranoia lol. I do not think I share the views of anyone here although the closest I think would be Sanjuro's. I have a...
I agree with you that many ideas are expressed in TMAs through forms terminology and so forth. What I mean is I think often people are not sharing those things they were taught but their...
Strike the word superfluous as redundant.
I agree that looking at techniques or shapes as a point of comparison to show some so called connection between the arts does not really prove anything.
I do not know what principle based means or...
From a YKS wing chun perspective:
I was taught that the forms are a physical way or a record used to teach various aspects of wing chun. So how the forms are performed is very very very precise in...
Isn't that called projection when you project your ideas onto something?
Can we just be honest? There is no wing chun fighter including you or any one you know who can use simultaneous blocking and punching like you say. The reason is how fights really work. It's rare...
My point is people go about this the wrong way or from the wrong direction. If you want to talk about how wing chun fighters do things START there and see. It would be like asking is this how a boxer...
Maybe you can point me to one just one one one one wing chun fighter that is using simultaneous offense and defense the way you think it works.
Yes simultaneous offense and defense is ONE concept...
You see that is what you get when academic speculators get an arm chair round table going on WHAT THEY WOULD DO. It's simply amazing. If you want to know how it's really done its simple look at the...
There is no such thing as real wing chun researchers. Wing chun history is a myth and is lost. Move along. The only people interested in the history have an agenda and that agenda is claiming what...
I just want to clear up a couple of things I've said from my perspective.
When I say that Hendrik's views are idle speculation I mean his ideas do not come from his practice but from some other...
No completely wrong. A straight punch with your arm fully extended does't get any longer lol. Wing chun is training for fights in stand up range if you want to call it that. Not short not middle not...
No it is a terrible metaphor. The body uses lots lots lots of different mechanics in martial arts. In boxing every single punch uses a different mechanic and often you can do the same punch many...
I think looking at things from is it a long range art or short range art is looking at it wrong. Just my opinion. That's not how things really work. I think how a person uses their wing chun training...
It's all complete twaddle. There is no such thing as engine. Listening to people who don't fight talk about fighting is a waste of time.
I love people who do not fight and have no fighting skills telling us all about fighting and strategy and ranges and so forth like they know what they are talking about. Put on some gloves until you...
Stop complaining about the drama. I think they should make a reality tv show out of this.
I think the ignore function is to help those people with cognitive dissonance so they do not be confronted by the realities they want to avoid.
I don't know you but I think you may want to consider that Hendrik is his own worst enemy. The more he posts the more he shows what a fraud he is. Let him talk DNA iPhone race car let him put up...
