In this video I show how the Tan Sao is applied in long and short ranges, and the concept of the short and long range Tan Sao as used in Wing Chun.

Apparently in your wing chun. Your so called long tan sao IMO is not really a tansao
and it is over reaching. Possible witha much smaller person ina demo.

You have a myopic view of what you think Tan sao is.

I like your long Tan Shou principle. The reason is simple. If you can extend your hand closer to your opponent's face, you are fighting in his territory and you are not fighting in your own territory. This is the opposite of the boxing guard that you try to use your arms to protect your own head.

- Your "long Tan Shou",
- my "rhino guard", and
- the old man's "zombie arms",

all use similar concept.

In some of Muhammad Ali's fights, he liked to extend his left arm, put his left glove right in front of his opponent's face and ready to punch his opponent with his right hand. His left hand not only blocked his opponent's view, it also forced his opponent to cover his face and played defense.

This concept is used in both boxing and football.
