Is a kick really just a punch?
I agree with you here. These range terms were applied by KPM because he knows more about boxing than VT.Would seem the simple approach would be to accept there is contact and non contact.
VT deals with pre-contact and contact range. But, I speak in his terms on the topic because he believes VT can't make contact without being in what he calls "chi-sau range", so to him anything more extended, yet still able to make contact is "long-range" and his WC doesn't have it.
