Judge for yourself:
念 頭 膀 手 龍 擺 尾
Lin tau bong2 sau2 lung4 baai2 mei5
The idea of Bong Sau is like a dragon flipping/swaying its tail
落 睜 夾 膀 虎 跳 蹄
Lok6 jang1 gip6 bong2 fu2 tiu3 tai4
Lower and close in your elbows like a tiger ready to pounce forward
二 字 拑 陽 力 滾 身
Yi6 ji6 kim yeung4 lik6 kwan2 san1
The character 2 clamping
stance will give you yang energy throughout your body - (Does anyone recognise this from some recent youtube video's )
Many southern arts use this phrase 龍 擺 尾 in different context's.
The most important thing to remember is that kuit is a learn aid helping a student to remember what he is taught by his sifu.
IMHO It is not necessary to have the kuit to learn from your sifu. But you need your sifu to learn from the kuit to understand the context and meaning meant by the writer.
At the end of the day it has to work for you and you need to understand why and what you are doing if you have had to go to other systems to make sense of it and it works for that great.
Where it comes from, when it was written and by whom will not help your progress understanding what works for you will. Simple as that IMO.
All this ruckus and name calling about Yik Kam / Cho Ga /SCWC/ SLT Kuit etc is just a storm in a teacup and not benefiting anyone's progress and development.
If you agree with it use it if not forget it.
As for hiding and being "secret in-door people" that is far from the truth we are very open these days we just don't have much interest in forums and trying to prove anything to others.
If anyone is interest in our system of Ban Chung Wing Chun and happen to be travelling through Singapore feel free to contact me to touch hands, yam cha or whatever. My skill is not so good but I can give you a taste of what we do. I am not interested in video-ing or celebrities just people wanting to exchange.
