contradiction to lots of other's believe that SLT is to learn this or that or get this kiu sau or that tan sau..... SLT is about un HARD Wiring! Not about making something. but not making anything and pay attention to the process of the execution or the set of the moves.
Thus, when some master tell thier students do that Little idea set. he is telling them to just drop those mind chatter, but observe, aware ... and working with doing the UN HARD WIRE. But today, people carry things into the opposite directin of try to making something.
That's why when I first learned Wing Chun from a Yip Man student called Patrick Chow, "In my first lesson from Patrick Chow, we stood in the SLT pigeon toe stance and just did the slow part of the Tan sau/Fook sau cycle over and over again for an hour straight. He said this represented 1/4 of the Wing Chun system. All the students except me were Chinese and so they accepted this and I followed along. In the first year only the first third of the form was covered along with single sticking hands, turning, stepping with the punch, double punching to develop power, Pak sau and Lap sau." (YongChun)
However modern people as in this thread don't like that anymore:

"This kind of thing has no place in today's world, imo.
Total waste of the student's time and money."
