Wing Chun and The root

[Hendrik]

............so, i think Hendrick, as is his wont, is waxing a bit literary here; at least that's my take on it...

a good song for those who knows chinese

But then even those who knows chinese some might understand the song some might not, some might like it some might not.

Why do you do Sil Lim Tao?

Via the SLT finger one sees the moon.

[Hendrik]

I worry about you sometimes.

Thanks and appreciate.

You can mix your philosophy with Wing Chun but don't make the mistake of seeing it as a requirement for Wing Chun.

standing, moving, walking, jumping.....

What is philosophy? what is Wing Chun? what is mix? What is requirement?

my taiji teacher has offered the explanation of the name / practice of SLT comes from Ch'an, relating to calming the discursive mind (seeing the moon)...he also has pointed out that it can refer to the physical action of the small (siu) circular wraping motion (nim) of the wrist / fist (the "tao" of the arm)...

For me, the YJKYM is essentially the body structure we need to be able to implement the WCK attached method of fighting which is to control an opponent while striking him (using the WCK tools).

Great


But please share your detail answer on the two entry level questions above.

Otherwise, what you say are just wishes.

I did a google image search on SLT after Hendrick said he DID SLT, this is what I got:

The details are ONLY found in the doing, in the performance itself -- this is what I keep telling you. This is because that body structure (the YJKYM) I'm talking about is dynamic, not static. Any description is of something fixed. You know you "have it" when you "have it".

Look, if you want to push a stalled automobile down the road, there is an optimum body structure (way of using your body or body mechanics) for doing that task. Can you learn that body structure by practicing a form? No. You ONLY really learn it by doing it -- by trying to push the stalled car and finding out how you can do it. Can I describe in detail how bent you knees must be? The angle of your torso? ETc.? No, because it is dynamic. You know when you "have it" when you can push the car up the road. Only through performance.

A boxer's body structure (body mechanics) is different than a wrestler's body structure (body mechanics) which is different than WCK body structure (YJKYM) because we are each trying to do different things (different tasks). You find the mechanics by starting with the TASK. As I said, for me that TASK is to control the opponent while striking him. How well I can do that task guides me in finding the body structure (the YJKYM). This is letting application be your sifu.

翻天覆地攜手浪逐浪　千杯不醉只醉月光
會心一笑不必講　對看一切都雪亮

Nope. it doesnt work this way.

Every human has a different face. But it certainly cant be the face of tiger.

Water is dynamic but it is not fire. water flow and fire burn

看 大江东去
浪花淘尽千古英雄
笑 指点江山
是非成败俱灰飞烟灭
此地一为别
青山旧 雨初歇 豪情却 向谁说

It ONLY works that way. Aristotle once said, "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." Physical skills are learned by and through actual performance.

Your analogies (fire/water) aren't valid.

You are good in arguement. but arguement is not WCK.

by evidents on your post, you dont know indepth YJKYM that is forsure.
