These are the contents of your first video in this thread, as far as I understand:Originally Posted by Hendrik
- WingChun applies the Yellow Emporer Classic.
- SNT implements the six harmonies.
- Internal power comes from synchronizing the flow of force, breath and meridians.
- SNT is for body conditioning and self defense application.
- Some of the applications are hidden in plain sight.
You go on to discuss five points:
1. almost nobody gets the internal arts
2. WingChun has nothing to do with TaiChi or QiGong, wrong practice of QiGong is dangerous
3. demonstration of coordination in collect/release, switching of meridians by thumb up/ thumb down
4. demonstration of coordination in expansion/contraction
5. demonstration of hidden neutralizing torque while striking in downward
Point of note: You don't like the normal BongSao.
----------------------------
Demonstrations take only about 19 of 38 minutes. The narration is highly repetitive, and the analogies only detract. You could cut half of the material and it would actually become easier to follow and get the message.
Now regarding the contents. Saying that TaiChi and QiGong practice causes strokes is highly unscientific, unless you have numbers to back that up. What's more, every competent TaiChi teacher knows about the six harmonies and the coordination of Qi and movement. I don't understand why you warn about TaiChi and then go on to discuss TaiChi core principles. That isn't WingChun special sauce, e.g. breath coordination is universal in martial arts.
