Frankly, that statement is true in relation to fighting, imo. Authenticity is irrelevant, the only relevant things are what you are doing in the fight, what he refers to as technology. If your method of power generation generates sufficient power without messing with balance, if stance provides the ability to be mobile and the ease of being stable, etc. And if your structure and posture allow you to keep aware of your opponent's actions and able to always respond efficiently. Things like this.
This is not in reference to the history comment. Solely the martial aspect of that he said. That said, I've never hit anyone with my history.
Agree with you 100% there. Here is a perfect example.
When a fly flies in front of your face, you use both hands to slap it. When you do that, are you following the 7 bows WC principle, or do you just let your hands move and your body followed? I assume the WC 7 bows principle is the opposite of the "hand goes first, the body followed" principle.

More opinion -> more argument
Less opinion -> less argument
No opinion -> no argument
1. 7 bows is for beginner . Advance deal with force flow and momentum direct.
Adult don't think how to put a spoon in ones mouth when eating. But if the baby not train properly, they can't do it .
2. Hand goes first the body follow is a hit. Body moves and hand doesn't have to move is issuing force flow.
Unless one knows the 7 bows handling, one is not clear in this.
However, it a fight. No one thinking seven bows. One hit or issue as needed.
