Hello all (this is my first time posting on this forum)
It is somewhat suprising when I read "this is correct" or "this is incorrect". This assumes one to know everything about all lineages of WC. That's a pretty tall order
I will say this: I have been taught 2 different bongs so far, each with different uses and energies. One has a penetrating energy used from mid reference up to shoulder hieght (in-out motion) we call a Hok Bong (elbow and wrist parallel at shoulder hieght).
The other bong uses an up-down recieving/redirecting motion which we call a ying bong (with elbow higher than wrist). In my view, they both have thier place, depending on the initial hieght of the attack (lower/higher), the direction of the attack (upward/forward, straight forward, etc) as well as our positions. Also, energy on the bridge (if already asstablished) plays a factor. They both work, when used in the correct timeframe, and obviously, they both fail when used in the wrong timeframe.
So, I guess I can see where you might assume one type of bong can work where another type of bong cannot. But isn't it going a little far saying something is 'incorrect' without giving an example or context, or, not fully understanding someone elses?
I can give an example showing where your description of a bong would fail - does that make it 'wrong'?
