The forearms collide, I didn't mean you're getting hit withHow do you get punched in the forearm from doing bong sau? Are you facing your opponent squarely as he throws a punch at you? If you are - what's your distance? Does getting your forearm punched at all seem right to you?
a fist in the forearm. The boang sau deflects the punching arm
upward. Yes, I am facing the opponent squarely.

Bill_G - IMHO, if the forearms are getting bruised in lop-sau drill:
usually it's too much disconnection, sometimes too much power or just the wrong energy.
Your journey ends at my feet.

WELL!!!
I'm just a guy, you know.
So, if someone, say an aspiring Wing Chun novice, asks me, "Is this guy any good?," I should say, what, exactly?
I could refer them to Rene's diagram and say this will explain the differences. Pick one.
Or, does anyone really think that there are no significant definable differences between Wing Chun styles/lineages?
To me, the principles must be intact to remain in the Wing Chun realm, but there are many ways to express them. As such, if I were to offer newbies advice, I could only honestly steer them to an approach that I 1) know, and 2) approve of.
That's OK. The process is a messy one, but better than creating some sort of official Wing Chun board of approval.
Cheers,

Attack, attack, attack -- come at your target from every possible direction and press until his defenses overload. Never give him time to recover his balance: never give him time to counter.
