James-
You have a good point, but if you lived closer to me I would say take the pepsi challenge. These guys are excellent martial artists, and why you sit there and analyze some small micro movement they are handing your a$$ to you. How would you like it served? I prefer medium-rare but thats just me
Their concept seems to be more of, do it, do it, do it, then refine refine refine, perfect it. Their style of learning is hands on, and hard work, it has no dogmatic stigma to it at all. While understanding the science behind the art is a good thing and maybe better explains conceptual theory to someone, but its by no means required to be a good martial artist.
Like I said I have known these guys for a few years and I have worked out with them in the past, but I just started going full time now. One of the first classes I went to they were doing a postured called the rat. We did it, and the class leaders would come around and adjust everyone's position so it was proper. One thing I noticed is, that everyone's was slightly different, this is because everyone's physique and bodies are different. They recognize this and will say that certain techniques will work best this way for you, and maybe this way for someone else.
We don't run around in kung fu costumes and talk about proper structure, or extreme details of our martial art (not saying that you do james, just making a statement), instead we put in hard work. The very first class I went to, I almost puked I worked out so hard, and my writs, shoulders and quads were sore for like 4 or 5 days afterwards.
Analyzing movement is a good thing I agree with you, but dwelling on it too much, is a bad thing. You must balance your training. I bet that most wing chun people do not work out like the way I did last night.
