recently I have entered into a discussion concerning the use of the Pigeon Toed Basic Horse in Wing Chun compared to the Parallel Toed version. As some may know there are different versions of Wing Chun and some use the Pigeon Toed (most popular) while some use the Parallel Toed. I have heard that the Pigeon Toed Stance is the basic while an advanced student can use the Parallel Toed stance. There are numerous photos of Yip Man showing his feet to be parallel. I am not interested in getting into any type of bashing here, I am interested in hearing what the props and cons are for each position. I would hope we can discuss this in a spirit of friendship. (Although I admit I muself have fallen recently and been guilty of allowing my emotions to carry me away). In any event I welcome your input.

Peace,

Dave
