Not all Roll...Its a basic age old thing from TCM...some gung fu styles have a form of rolling...Yip Man derived Wing Chun utilizes Poon Sao. Others uses different formats.
Basically the rolling is to develop senstitivity and connection. Teaching you how to feel your opponents bridge and allow you to get used to feeling your opponent intent as he strikes. Basically the arms are rolling because when fighting you don't just stand there with your hands touching they are moving. So you conditioned your self to sense and feel while you limbs are in motion. But this is my own thoughts to why WC rolls.
Other forms is Lop Sau drills. Basically from the Lop Sao you can commence to chi sao...some will say thats gor sao or something else but in reality the intensity is too low and its all about connectivity and feeling. Also partner punching is another two man drill you can flow into chi sao from!
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"
