For those that have learned more then one WC lineage
I've started going to the EBMAS school here in town, having to go from WC to WT has proved to be a little annoying to say the least. I'm trying to keep my old habits from coming out, and trying to keep my current thoughts on why things should be done a certain way suppressed while Im there. Im trying to work off of a clean slate but it's really tough.
What are some of the things that you all have done to help ease the transition from one lineage to the next? I mean they do things really differently! I use 50/50 weighting, they use 0-100. I turn on the heels, they turn on the middle of the foot, I have a bit wider of a stance and they have a very close abduction stance. They also use a more square stance then some lineages of WC and don't use deflection as much, but more straight on interception (from what I've seen thus far) So whenever I accidently turn (say for example chor ma) I get corrected.
It's funny in a way, but on the other hand, I think it's also going to become a hinderance in my development in WT if it keeps happening. This usually isnt a problem for me going from one style to the next, but since WC lineages are so similar, it's hard for my body to differentiate.
Any thoughts on this one guys?
"I don't know if anyone is known with the art of "sitting on your couch" here, but in my eyes it is also to be a martial art.
It is the art of avoiding dangerous situations. It helps you to avoid a dangerous situation by not actually being there. So lets say there is a dangerous situation going on somewhere other than your couch. You are safely seated on your couch so you have in a nutshell "difused" the situation."
