Hendrik question

[k gledhill]

SLT without Chum Kil is not functional, so why do attribute so much "engine" to SLT ? It needs dynamics of movement. The addition of dealing with dynamic force , momentum in a fight is a skill we focus on and take advantage of with centerline fighting.

All that doesn't work if you donr get slt, and the engine, right

For once I'd go with Hendrick

Personally I'd say SNT and CK are as important as each other. CK doesn't work without SNT and SNT is useless without the mobility of CK. SNT facilitates being able to engage with CK.

Y'know I aint posted here in a while now and THIS post is a true gem

It actually proves your ignorance to any Wing Chun teaching that existed prior to Ip Man, but in fact I think you PBWSL dudes discount anything anybody taught before our dear Philip Bayer?! I often wonder if he knows or will even remember you seminar guys?

Anyway, enough about that. Why don't you look at some of the history about Wing Chun Kev and try and grasp the fact that the 3 forms we see today never existed like that in the earlier practices. The ideas of Chum Kiu and Biu Jee were already embedded in the original set, hence why it is named Siu Lien Tau and not Siu Nim tau. It simply is not the same set.

This is only ONE of quite a few versions but I think it gives an idea of what I'm trying to say http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRbpfs31N20

Now this isn't to say that I understand what the hell Hendrik yaps about half the time, but I do see and am trying to get to know more about the mainland and operatic families that still exist today. In fact I have known some practitioners since 1999 and all their forms are different to what Ip Man taught BUT they contain the same, if not identical principles.

Maybe you should get off the couch and get out more...

Your question is a classical for westerner who is not familiar with traditional Chinese martial art system.


In tradition Chinese art, theRe has to be a Kung or body of the art and the fatt or application of the art. The body of the art support the application, the application express the power of the body of the art.

The body of the art include many things including the power generation development, structure. Joints handling...ect. In a specific way to support the applications.


Siu nim tau or siu Lin tau set of the three sets is the training to develop the body of the art. In WCK that body of the art is said to be the snake body. Why? It has a characteristics of coil spring be able to shoot or accept the impact from the center line. The two kuen kuits share here from the red boat era is the description and instruction of the siu Lin tau.

Siu nim tau is focus on "direct " coil spring momentum
Chum kil needs that siu Lin tau of basic to extended to a "roundabout " coil spring momentum
Biu jee extended further to " recover" coil spring momentum.

One needs to develop the "direct " coil sprint before can further extend to roundabout , then only after roundabout , to recovery. Instead jump step and missing the foundation. That is the design of the WCK when the one long set is split into three sets 1850 era, as we know today .


Now, IMHO, WCK has an issue if the siu nim tau body of the art is not develop. As Hawkin asking "do you have the snake body?" in his YouTube. However, today,most don't develop this body of the art but thinking a default muscle strength to push is what it needs. Or rooting like hung gar or moving like taiji with round hip...etc which is not the development of the siu Lin Tau design for.

Thanks! I try!

The most fundamental basic od the siu nim tau snake body is a training of the handling of ones seven major joints of the physical body. How these seven joints used as an integration, separation, joint by joint in sequence, joints synchronization, within the philosophy of using center guarding center philosophy of the wing Chun kuen.

What do you mean by moving like Tai Ji with round hip?

[Hendrik]

You're talking sh&t dude, like your clips you don't show fighting, you espouse intellectual servitude to your 'cult' approach... show me a fight and you moving to use the 'idea'.

I claim bull****, prove it.

Take a look at 7.4 to the end , on WCK siu Lin tau and second form or chum kil form.

Btw, it is from Hawkins the student of Ipman , the classmate of WSL .
Perhaps , it is you in a cult thinking your cult way, but not WCK as from Ipman?




Btw, I am just open the curtain, sure many don't like it, those who following cult, those who proclaim as guru, those who create their own WCK , are expected to not like what they see under the sun.

Today wcner has a good view from 2013 to 1850

Moving the hip to rotate Dan Dian.

[Hendrik]

Show me your idea...I can see HC using ..!! Chum Kil !! I dont agree with his thinking, I have visited ( yawn not again ) personally and chi-saoed with his ideas. Not impressed, but at least I am talking from experience ( not ego ) . It was a friendly visit and he is a really nice guy. I also met WSL lineage various uk, spain , usa branches, HK too, direct students of WSL and WSL himself......'hands on' and frankly a name doesn't ensure any kind of quality or steadfast thinking on the same lines....

You need to get out of your living room and play in a gym full of A type boxers, mma, mt...hit a heavy bag for 3 minutes straight ( not a lot ; ) ) using your snake engine

WCK is WCK .
What you see and what you want to believe is upto you.

Ving Tsun is a definable skill, not an art open to subjective interpretation. It is open to comprehension issues due to its abstract nature.

No siu nim tau no WCK. That is the bottom line.

Okaaaay lets move on, Ving tsun is dependent on angling and movement to work. Like the weapons we use, we too need to change positions and counter attack, etc... a basic pole set is static to learn the alignment of the pole before we start to move and angle to attacks and counter, etc....you cant stand still in a basic stance and expect to create dynamic force using momentum of the body in motion.Or learn to recover errors of the same or take advantage of others errors unless...you move around, like fighters do outside their living rooms.
