I have done a bit of chow gar spm which has the sarm bo jin 1st form
Good clip here. Watch from 7 mins

Some practitioners of Five Ancestors Fist (Ngo Cho Kun, Wu Zu Quan) say their Sam Chien form is the root for Uechi Ryu and Goju Ryu Sanchin .
How can a understanding of it help your wing chun siu nim tao?
I was taught dynamic iso-tonic elbow during slt. It develops strong joint angle control. You have to do the tan sao 1-2 minutes out, huen, Jum, wu, 1-2 minutes , fook 1-2 minutes.....repeat as form. The arm should not look like it is moving during this section of the form.
When I started classes it was a routine to bow to a picture of yip man, light a stick of incense in complete silence and then the large group, silently, would do slt and the slow elbow tension section, that was a real workout with holding the stance.
I have done the Okinawan/Japanese versions of Sanchin:
Okinwana Goju, Kyokushin, Uechi-ryu
And the sanjian of Fujian White Crane.
And the sam boo gin of SPM
And one of the WuZu versions.
And SLT.
SLT has, as I was taught it, has virtually NOTHING to do with any of them.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
Joy is correct - completely different engines.

Goju aka hard soft, uses different focus to vt. But dynamic iso tonic / iso metrics play a large part of our training. One can increase stamina, joint specific focus on strengthening and breathing control. Guys who train this a lot have very "heavy" relaxed arms. Not to mention stamina to maintain strong balanced mobile stances, coupled to the " arms " we have structure ; )

Does Hung Ga's "Iron Wire" form more closely resemble San Chien than SLT?
