That's not a bad thing but you should share the thinking of your Teacher else subtle ideas may be lost and WSLVT will end up like LTWT.
Chen Kin Man would be who I would choose if I was based in HK. I have met him several times and trained in his school. He was the guy that told me PB was the best and I had made the right choice to become his student. I didn't need any convincing though. The proof is in the pudding.
I hope that is the conversation over and I'm still not sure why you had to start it as if you were trying to disprove my POV. Like I said the video is correct but only one piece of the jigsaw. If people think that LSJC is purely to make arm contact and when it is removed thrust forward I will disagree to the cows come home. LSJC is not about making arm contact. Its about using the whole body correctly as a driving force. Of course of arm contact is made during striking then we have the tools in order to deal with it and continue. No time for sensing energy.

Ahhhhhh, so you do deal with those pesky arms G???
Of course! Its a bi-product of fighting but unlike most systems of WC I don't over indulge in them pesky arms and protest that WC is about making contact with arm bridges, sensing energy and using that energy in order to defeat the opponent somehow. Nor do I think the system teaches you to have a feel around and take advantage of holes and gaps. This is where WC has gone wrong due to the fact that in the beginning we use arm contact drill training to improve ones structure, balance, force etc etc etc............................................... .....
You rang?
But that would be your misconception. The feeling is not about 'feeling around', it is responding to force - responding automatically. Not feeling around to try and ascertain what should come next.
You contradict yourself all the time. Not just from thread to thread, and not only within single threads, you actually sometimes contradict yourself in a single post.
You say blindfolded Chi Sau is bullsh*t, then you say it has some value.
You say you don't judge from watching videos, but then judge a video.
You say of LSJC that some believe "...when it is released we should thrust forward using some kind of springy energy. That is a common misconception", then say WSL was right in saying the same thing, but that he was only saying this "for beginners".
You say you don't hold value in the meaning of words in Wing Chun, then you say someone else's definition of a word is wrong.
The list goes on...

No mocking, tongue-in-cheek signature here... move on.
Oh dear................
Ok I'm out of here!
Listen dude, if LFJ can't understand my thinking then you have no chance with your problem filled funny Wing Tsun. It's a shame I can't show him in action then there would be no arguments. It may come across as contradictory but it is not. It's simple and easy to understand. You just have to be in the same room and open to questions and exchanges. That can never happen on here.
If you all of a sudden started to agree with any of it and claimed that you understand I know there would be a problem!
Yes, bubbles would burst. I think there is far more in common with some of the things WSL said and with what I learn, than many would believe.
Mostly because a) most people don't understand what the LTWT system is, b) people freely interpret the words of WSL to mean vastly different things, c) people are still living in the my-WT/VT/WC-is-the-best-ever- world and just aren't open-minded enough to see the commonalities and the opportunities that come with them.
Hey-ho! The Wing Chun world is what it is.

LGBT is not a fighting system...
