Two very simple questions but none answer it directly and clearly.

it is not about right or wrong. it is not about universal standard.

It is a sad song.

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?

Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open doors
What are you hoping for?
Do you know...?

Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies
That filled our minds....



Now looking back at all we've planned
We let so many dreams
Just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long
Before we'll see
How sad the answers
To those questions can be....

classic song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzocrN1zUE8

Question does the Kuen Kuit mention Fajin?

Also does it mention side kick or dan chi sau or chi gerk?

Am I avoiding answering your question?

Since I am here in this forum, I am looking for those who knows the "music" to ask me extremely question based on thier "musical" experience. That will be super fun and super satisfying.


I dont like laundry list,
Do you have some kuen kuit which could raise my passion?
make my day.


In the mean time, since I have not seen you have any, look at the clip I post and tell me how far or long you could sustain. That would be much much much more interesting and evoke my passion. not to mention, that is realistic too.

Question does the Kuen Kuit mention dan chi sau or chi gerk?

as for the video:

i seen it awhile ago maybe two years ago or so...it appears kung fu sucks..

[Hendrik]

Question does the Kuen Kuit mention dan chi sau or chi gerk?

ask those who make up this question or give you this.
asking me is asking a wrong person.

The question is how is your so called WCK Rooting can handle this? Since you believe in Rooting....etc. what is the bottom line?

Question does the Kuen Kuit mention Fajin?

Also does it mention side kick or dan chi sau or chi gerk?

as far as i know, chi geuk was an embellishment on the techniques taught. kind of like the forms are an embellishment to san sik movements.

i believe Yip Mans earlier student made the exercise up. could be wrong

i also believe that dan chi is a more recent adding to the system - again i could be wrong.

anyway... isnt the kuen kuit just one persons expression of the art passed from a teacher to student?

i know there are some more classical kuen kuit, but many of them are from recent times

Funny thing is the stance Royce is using is essentially the same as wing chun including the use of what we would call a man sau. This is the basic fighting stance and method one learns once you learn to apply the pole empty handed.

For Hendrick ,what some call rooting is not meant to be strong roots into the earth like a tree with. I don't think rooting is even the right thing to call it because of the image and connotations it brings up in the western mind. Wing chun is to be supple,flowing and flexible not firm ,fixed ,stiff or hard

If you think of dance or running and look at photographs of people doing those activities you would could look at each photograph and say she is in the on toes stance or he is in the explosive forward leaning stance.

If you look at the same activities as movies you don't see stances, you see the activity as a whole and the flow of the athlete from position to position as part of a single activity and the stances disappear.

The same applies to any martial art even wing chun. At least that was how I was taught.
