Now now, you know me well enough to know that, to me, the litmus test of ANY MA principle is combat.
There is no trolling here dude, far from that.
I know inch power, I have seen it and felt it BUT none of that changes that what we typiclaly see id CRAP and you know that too.
Others can hide behind the theory and by trying to compare a MA activity to ANYTHING BUT fighting, BUT WE ( you and I) KNOW what is the ONLY test.
Am I right?
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
You really haven't been reading anything that has been written, have you?
But here, let me show you in PRACTICE DURING a FIGHT:

And I answered.
The clips above show ( highlight) the PRACTICAL application of short distance striking and one even does it while moving BACKWARDS.
And they do it without silly terms or archaic mumble jumbo that is no more than double talk from people that like to hear themselves speak.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
And that is the point isn't it?
Anyone can "fa jing" a static target, whatever it may be.
But we train in a FIGHTING system and what is done and drilled and trained is to be DONE DURING a fight, with the other guy beating on Us with as much gusto as we are beating on him.
You will never develop the attributes to use ANYTHING in a real fight by doing ONLY static and compliant drills.
It MUST eventually be applied in practical terms and guess what?
It won't be anything like it is in the drill/demo.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,

I have and it looks like, from your clips, that you have just been reading something else too!
Both clips do not show the unique Wing Chun Choone Ging at all, unless you take the approach of John and believe inch force is in everything you do. Maybe every strike can have an 'inch force peak' at the end of a right hook for example, but this isn't the ultimate purpose of learning the method.
I liked Kevs expression actually (how surprising!) but still not exactly how I would describe it's 'use'

Ok.
1. These are your view. But others have theirs.
2. Not all Short distance striking Are the same. And there are Atleast 3 types of different short distance striking Mechanics.
3. WCK has its terminology it's mechanics , similar to every culture has its own tradition. If you don't like that that is fine.
What are going on about 1850 Wing Chun for? Were you there? Where have you read this stuff? How is this actually relevant?
The article:
http://www.wingchuntaoist.com/2012/0...wing-chun.html
Shows a demonstration for short range power and how to use Wing Chun to train and develop it.
Does is not? Is it not a demonstration of short range power and something that looks genuine?
