Your comments as per usual only relate to what you directly can understand and structure into an argument.
"Although you're reluctant to admit it, a certain pain in your derriere is a plus. - RH "
* Never been relutctant about my opinion im proberly the most forward person i know. Still dont get to excited... 'Smarter than i gave you credit for', you dont know how smart i orginaly thought you were, do you? Besides what use is 'smart' when you depend totaly on your reflexs?
"Showing one's hand too early gives away the game."
* Only a brave fighter with total confidence in there technique can afford to be truely up front about what they do and who they are. I can understand you not wanting to take such risk.
"A reward is postponed, but be a good sport."
* The reward is not important, besides what reward?
The trip is all there is, when you get to your destination you will only find another place you want to see. Sit back and enjoy the ride, maybe in time you will stop to enjoy the scenery and the many differing landscapes. Give yourself up and you may yet find yourself again.
"Your upbeat manner inpires a superior ( guess who? ) to make it up to you."
* No disrespect but i dont regard you as a superiour, if you were posting under your real name and listed openly your sifu i would show you more respect. To me your just some bloke with a couple of years of wing chun and a hell of a lot of quotes from old texts. I can quote the classics too Does it mean i can apply them though? My superiors are my mentors and i look up to them, i have not recieved anything from you to elevate you to that level. Dont flatter yourself!
Still feel free to attempt to 'educate' me anytime you feel fit, just dont expect me to take it seriously, as you to me are just another faceless, nameless, WC mouth boxer.
"Bide your time. You'll recognize what's Wing Chun when it appears. - RH"
* Are you saying i havent seen Wing Chun? Pretty odd assumption, either way its not for me...
To structured and confined, footwork is weak, to based on reflex.
Instructors are always more involved in politics than actualy improving there art. Linage is more important than actualy being good. To much is kept back, to little is shown up front, application is cramped, power is offset by stance, to much relience on forwards moving techniques and strait lines.
This is all just my opinions though, if wc works for you then more power to you. For me it feels like trying to fight confined to a phone box.
Now i notice again [im perceptive i know] that you have missed MANY of the questions in my post. I cant help but get the feeling its becouse either you cant or dont want to answer them.
Considering your my superiour [appently] i would have thought you would be keen to rebut my 'mis' conceptions about your art?
Maybe you agree with me?
Come on Trolling_Hand you can do better i know it, dont 'find' a responce 'feel' one.
Up and down, forward and backward, left and right, its all the same. All of this is done with the mind, not externaly.
