Yes, not circles - rattan canes. As Yip Man spoke about in the interview he gave to NMH magazine.

Yes, maintaining it in sparring is not easy. I was told about LSJC in my Ip Chun lineage, but that was as far as it went. An instructor talked about it. There was never any process of showing how to develop it, sadly.

Again, Yip Man mentioned this specifically. I am sure he didn't have a misconception of Wing Chun
No mocking, tongue-in-cheek signature here... move on.
