    Most Basic Concept of Wing Chun?

    Whats the most basic concept of Wing Chun?
    The Flow is relentless like a raging ocean with crashing waves devasting anything in its path.

    "Kick Like Thunder, Strike Like Lighting, Fist Hard as Stones."

    "Wing Chun flows around overwhelming force and finds openings with its constant flow of forward energy."

    "Always Attack, Be Aggressive always Attack first, Be Relentless. Continue with out ceasing. Flow Like Water, Move like the wind, Attack Like Fire. Consume and overwhelm your Adversary until he is No More"

    Hit and don't get hit.
    Psalms 144:1
    Praise be my Lord my Rock,
    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    Was going to say, "Hit the guy."

    Not if you're filming a DVD or putting your picture in a magazine. Shirtless Wing Chun people sell more stuff. It's true!

    People hate when I say this but WC is simple and direct and there is no need to overcomplicated and if more people actually fought with it, they'd see that the system isn't that complicated at all.
    In practical terms of course.
    Psalms 144:1
    Praise be my Lord my Rock,
    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    So hitting a guy without being hit first, without a shirt is the top answer ?

    Only when I say it. Everybody else is bored based upon thread response.

    Is "head on collision (A + B > A)" that you pull your opponent into your punch a basic concept of WC? I assume WC is more than just the "rear end collision (A - B < A)" that you punch while your opponent is moving back.

    No, its A squared + B squared = C squared ,

    Don't forget, though, in order to double the blast radius, you have to cube it.

    I still have more respect for the golf shirt w/ breast pocket.
    My vote is 'when the hand is free, hit instinctively and directly.'

    Hitting someone is an action, not a concept. The original question was what is the most basic concept of Wing Chun. The most basic concept is that the shortest distance between two points will always be a straight line, and that would be center line. Everything else can vie for it's own place in the line up.
