Overhand rights ( or lefts) or "looping" punches have their place, as do uppercuts and shovel hooks and whatnot.
Any technqiue that can take out world champions in VARIOUS different fighting sports, seems like a good one to have in our arsenal.

It's an overhand in boxing, sometimes called a windmill (especially when there is teh crazy windup lol) but in chinese it's a sow choy.
categories mess things up, language creates barriers, but an overhand is a good punch for getting around someone else limbs.

Not really. You could be a master of whatever, but looking at something out of your field, you'd still be lost. I make no assertions about, say, kendo, or TKD, because it isn't my field, and I don't understand the deeper reasoning behind the techniques.
Sow choi is combat proven. CLF would have gotten rid of it over a hundred years ago if it wasn't.

nothing is ineffective if used in the right circumstance.

Discuss, yes. Make solid assertions based on limited knowledge of said technique? Not so much.
ie. "That sword technique doesn't seem effective to me. Does anyone here know how it is supposed to be properly applied?" -Correct
"That sword technique is completely ineffective. If this was MMA he'd be RNC'd instantly!" -Incorrect
But it's a free country. Say what you want. Just don't get butt-hurt when someone corrects you.

Or you could call a CLF school and ask one of the sifus when and why the sow choi is an effective technique. Wouldn't have to visit a school or anything.

Hey brother, i'm a street fighter. and the sow choy is one of my favorites, so i endorse the sow choy fully. the key is to know when and where.but against a decent streetfighter,boxer, not a chance

yes, i agree with you to some extent. but when you got a streetfighter who knows gung fu, then he will beat that average everyday street fighter cause he knows what to expect.
but if you never had a fight in your life, it will be hard to prove your art or techniques work. a studio fighter only works on theory on stuff, when a street fighter will say "out on the streets i wouldn't do this or that" and he would modify it to work for him out on the streets.
all techniques are useful

Nope, you have learned techniques that David Ross teaches his students - you even said the technique was 'overwhelming' (your words) . According to you, David and his students are Glorified Kickboxers. Therefore you are a glorified kickboxer.
David Ross knows more about TCMA than you could ever hope to learn. The fact that your sifu "told you the name of the style", but you can't remember it tells a lot about your retention skills. Maybe that's one reason your Wing __un sifu disowned you?
