I actually remember that day. I also thought many drills in WCK are useless - for example:
Pak Sao - no one stands at a fixed distance and lets you throw punches at them.
Dan Chi Sao - the distance is fixed, the other hand is chambered, I would not hit an opponent in the chest with a palm strike... the exercise is boring and unrealistic; Cross Hands Chi Sao is also equally lame
Luk Sao - Who the hell rolls like that in real life?
Tui Ma- pushing horse, Hands gripping an opponent's forearm, or hands behind the back...
Of course, William transcended all those exercises, and most of the exercises I described above were for people not experienced in anything at all.
So its not just Chi Gerk.
Chi Gerk will however, will teach you:
Bo Faat/Stepping – Moving the stance
Bik Faat/Trapping – Trapping the opponent’s leg
Gerk Faat/Striking – Use of the foot, knee, shin, thigh
Jeet Faat/Intercepting – cutting off the opponent’s attack
Jou Faat/Running – going away from the force
Sou Faat/Sweeping – Destroying the opponent’s balance
Chi Faat/Sticking – Moving with the opponent
Mun Faat/Asking – Inquiring the next move
Wu Faat/Protecting – Guarding the body and placement of the knee
