Circles vs Straight Lines
Hi, Guys.
Wing Chun makes use of straight line punches (Walk the Line Not the Bow,etc.) a priority, seemingly to the exclusion of all others.
I know that the forms include other striking movements, but I get the feeling that these take a back seat in terms of useful application.
Personally, I think a mania for straight line punching to be a drawback, as it's not the strongest punch available in the WC arsenal.
Straight lines are not the be-all and end-all of Wing Chun.....
Whilst practicing myself, I feel that motions describing combinations of small, circular motions in various joints & limbs
generate greater energy than piston like movements, ie - straight line punches.
What do you think?
No one said it was going to be F******g easy.

No chatting. Just STFU & get on with it.
