some say SLT/SNT is a dictionary

[yellowpikachu]

some say SLT/SNT is a dictionary. Dictionary of what? technics? momentum? energy?

is it true a dictionary or just a wishfull thinking?

[Frank Exchange]

Concepts.

[jonp]

not a dictionary
not an encyclopedia

the forms dont give you the answers, they just get you to ask yourself the questions

[old jong]

If it was a dictionary,they could just have written a list of the motions instead.

I too see the forms as something much more than flat dictionaries of terms, techniques, or even concepts.

To me they are a) tightly integrated multi-dimensional repositories of knowledge b) incarnated in an active physical environment c) enabling limitless learning, research, and personal development.

I like the term "multi-dimentional"!
You learn in a cognitive fashion: " Learn the motions/applications"
You learn in a more physical fashion: " Learn by muscle memory/repetitions"
You learn by doing properly: " Learn proper structure and relaxation/delivery of power"
You learn intuitively: " Learn to calm the mind and the use of what is learned"

[AmanuJRY]

I like the 'workbook' analogy.

It is like a 'list' of techniques, but with space to 'add your own notes'. Blanks to fill in answers to the questions that arise from training....and to raise more questions.

Agreed. Nice elaboration.

Personally I believe that SLT is an stargate transporter device. One has to push the right button to activate the beam me up process. So far I have not seen any stars yet but lot of fun tinkering and breaking it apart. Toy R Us for now. =)

Some also like to call SLT the "textbook" of Wing Chun. If taken at first level it can be.The beginner will learn "words" and later make "sentences" with these learned words. There is also some "grammar" or applications/chi sau to be able to write or read properly.Great for most beginners.
Then there is what lies in the deeper meaning of words. What the sound of words mean to you?...What feelings and images these words/sounds bring to you?...Their effect on you?...All things very hard to put in words!...

[yellowpikachu]

Yup, it is Multi-dimentional.


SLT is a model of 4 dimentional realtity into 4 quadrants.

the nature of the body, technics, momentum, Awareness.

[Tom Kagan]

Interpretation is key to understanding. It can also be a stepping stone to a bonafide bias, however.

SiuNimTao is SiuNimTao.

Why in the world would I need to interpret SiuNimTao as something else? Why would I need something to transport me to somewhere else? No matter how many dimensions and quadrants found in someone's interpretation, why do I need a model representation when I have the reality?

I like your "open" commentary on the forms, Hendrik. =) Hawkins Cheung once commented similarly that Chum Kiu is about reading your oppenent clearly and proactively.
