No lies (not that anyone will be able to tell, it being a forum and all), but at least make an effort
Here is my five cents.
On engine
Why do I use snake engine or rattan body or force line type power generation.
Because without it, my body break down when i face opponent who is almost 100lb more heavy then me, And also in close body I have no handling. I am convince without the snake engine, my Wck doesn't go far, and technics doesn't work well.
I can use kyokushin power generation since i am a kyokushin, but that is only going to work if my opponent is my size and it is difficult if the opponent is younger or more althelic. And doesn't fit if I am using Wck.
On power handling
The seven bows is the key. Otherwise one cannot develop a good handling on receiving and issuing . Holding structure can only get one to do push back and sustain , but not receiving and issuing, that is because receiving and issuing needs to have all seven bows activate, align , and operate in sequence. Not to mention when acceleration is needed for short Jin issuing .

Enjoy Hendriks experience
If I asked you to tell me how to hit a cricket ball you could tell me fom your experience actually playing cricket and batting. You would not need to tell me F=ma or about vectors or about engines or the seven bows or whatever. You could tell me in a clear straight forward way using ordinary everyday language and explain it quite simply.
To teach someone or to do it yourself is not about understanding it is about how to. Do you know how to and then you practice doing it using your performance as a guide to better performance. No one talks about how one cricket player understands hitting better and the path to hitting better is understanding vectors or engines or whatever. If you were to go to a cricket forum and see people arguing over whose ideas for hitting were better and talking about engines and ground rebound energy and the seven bows you'd think quite rightly they were crazy. If these same people kept saying that only they had the right idea and people playing pro cricket were doing it all wrong that it wasn't real cricket and so forth you'd quite rightly think they were crazy.
Wing chun is no more complicated or complex than boxing or wrestling or cricket or baseball.
This one day I was like walking to 7-11 for a slurpee and this guy drove up and was like "hey punk give me your money" and I was like "no" "foom foom foom" and he was like "sorry man I didn't mean it" and then ran off.
This is relevant because "foom foom foom" is wing chun.
So a student of mine goes to Newark nj dunkin doughnuts. Mid aft in the parking lot. My student is an ex fireman, 6'3 220lbs. A mugger picks him ( lmao ) out as he is going to his car. The mugger had a stick in one hand and said something my student couldn't understand. Lmao... So he says ( mugger ) " you know what this is ? " and my student still isn't sure what he is up to . Haha.. So anyway the mugger swings the stick at my student who just raises his arm to block it , now realizing he is being mugged, the stick busts the watch off his wrist and my student then simply punches the guy hard in the face and as a result of the punch the mugger/ fool, falls down, then my student got in his car and drove off.
Funny because "Big Mike" is the last guy you would think was going to be mugged. Newark is a tough area !
