Thanks Hendrik. I missed the first part about loi lau hoi sung (LLHS), tyut sau jik chung. I just saw the '譲而取之' (concede and then take) and thought it 'hey that sounds a lot like LLHS'.
The devil is in the details right? It seems there is a lot of commonality in the Wing Chun I have read about, i.e. the ideas are shared, but the problem is whether you have a well defined process to train it.
Translated for the benefit of others:
鶴性不爭。以示鳳德。彬彬克敵。分寸之中。
The crane's nature is not to fight. It shows the phoenix's virtue. Overcoming the opponent with cultivation. The difference is in inches.
[Kev G - one inch or death!
]
中門論-人體中門最弱,是攻擊目標,也是重點守護的地方。手由心發,上至頭頂,中為心窝,下達胯襠。老洪拳 、羅漢拳、鶴拳(包括空手道),則分四門八方。詠春則重中門內外。
Inner gate theory - a person's inner gate is the weakest, it is the goal of the attack, and is the emphasized area of defence. The hand (fist) comes from the heart, the highest is the corwn of the head, the middle is the chest, the lowest is the crotch. Old Hung fist, Lohan fist, Crane fist (including Karate), divides into 4 gates and 8 directions. Wing Chun emphasizes the inner gate within and without (inside and outside).
