hakka wing chun

[kung fu fighter]

What's kind of interesting about this with respect to WC and probably southern styles in general is that you kind of see the specialization in "short bridge" range. When there is unrestricted movement, different aspects of a WC training or different skills are needed - some more of a long bridge type of emphasis or skillset, and the ability to transition between long and short bridging.

YKSWC has both long bridge as well as short bridge training. Duncan Leung's wing chun is considered long bridge. Pao fa lien wing chun is from the north, so maybe they also have different long range tactics where there is unrestricted movement. Does anyone on here train in pao fa lin wc?

I have certainly seen Pao Fa Lien, but I seriously doubt it came from the North.

Everything about it reeks of Southern Fist.

But then, when Tai Ji, Xing Yi, Ba Gua and Northern Shaolin go to the south, it has a southern flavor, too.
