Why isnt it a lateral hammer fist strike to the temple ?
Why only do 1 dropping tight elbow to his center while facing sharply and then only tap his hand to show it goes forwards a little before returning to jut sao ? Why not throw a combo of a hook after the uppercut, why so stingy ? Its because we are conditioning certain actions, a unity of actions, for use in sparring, fighting.
Try to think like me for a second, think you're taking an idea from SLT and adding motion along an axis line. Add to that the elbow drops and goes to center first with the hips, then the little extension forwards so we have a jut sao back from that slight extension as we face another direction...? The jut elbow doesn't leave the body either, why ?
The VT thinking isnt visible, Yip Man CK form is no different to WSL, but you will see variations of guys 3-4 hand down, adding all kinds of 'kata' striking after the action from muddled ideas.
You can hit a guy anyway you need to through the mechanics and dynamics of the training BUT you wont lose sight of the key defense/attack ideas as you do this, iow you arent going to get a punch coming through a loose elbow that never re-centered habitually from drilling and form work
