Well, if we were to agree on everything, then what would be the point of discussing things?Originally Posted by Graham H
Actually, I believe that we do to some extent. Yes, Chum kiu teaches us (among other things) to use our hips in striking. On that we agree.
I am also saying that there is WC striking where you don't use your hips as in turning with the punch, but as tucking in and sinking (further) on the point of contact. Don't you use this methodology in your school? If not, are you not interested for the sake of expanding your WC knowledge, to look into it?
By the way, Ten Tigers also referred to this in a recent post here.
Incidentally, the lineage of Chow Gar that I practice, also uses the hips, but in a manner that is not visible for the onlooker and somewhat different from the WC way.
The world of the TCMAs is fascinating and IMHO, any kung fu lover will want to expand his knowledge and understanding as regards genuine TCMA methodologies.
