You are the gentleman sir; I don't know when to keep my mouth shut / fingers off the keys at times.



That's so mind bogglingly appropriate, I'm stuck for words.



A wise man, that one....

Your points are taken, notes to self made.
And yes. I did find your Genghis quote amusing.

So your contribution to this thread is both argumentative and includes a clever quote,
complaining about disparaging arguments and clever quotes that appear in the thread?

I'm somewhat willing...

Agreed; it's all Chu Sau Lei Wing Chun.
I can see Aaron using 'Structure' in there.

:)

Albert Einstein 1879-1955 "The only source of knowledge is experience."

I was going to quote from Kant, but he's a bit too metaphysical for me.

Theory does have it's place. But it isn't...

:) Yep.



Agreed...Most WC I've seen in class usually amounts to mental masturbation with a bit of PT thrown in, when all is said & done, WC is about fighting.
Not WC vs WC; it's about WC vs...

I'd have to agree with you there too.....Sparring is essential.
I don't like doing it, but without it, you may as well be practicing morris dancing.
Safe working practices - Yep. Sparring isn't...

I had to laugh.......'live' & 'dynamic' are two words that don't sit well with WC at all.
It's one thing to be theoretical, quite another to try to apply your WC in a fight.
I feel that in a 'real'...

I'd have to agree with you.
Even between two differing lineages, practice & techniques were linear, almost maniacally so.
Coming back to WC now, what's being demonstrated & practiced is markedly...

But it would be correct to say that some WC punches do exactly that - take circular paths?
If you couldn't penetrate your opponents inside area (too well guarded) then you could strike in this way:...

OMG! You all see that too in your own WC? Yes machinery! When practicing, I see flywheels turning.
Circular into angular motion, angular into linear motion - Flywheel to camshaft, camshaft to pitman...

That's such an interesting reply.
And yes, I can see that what you say is true:
Simultaneous combinations of torquing circular movements.
Resulting in the fist describing a straight line as it...

The 7 joints being used to provide torque: Ankle, Knee, Hip, Spine, Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist?
Many thanks for your reply. Liked it.

Yes, I'd agree with that! They are not techniques.
They are not hand or arm shapes or the movements made with them.
They are concepts, so how they are applied is purely down to circumstance.

Hi, Guys.

Wing Chun makes use of straight line punches (Walk the Line Not the Bow,etc.) a priority, seemingly to the exclusion of all others.
I know that the forms include other striking...
