You can make a form mean anything you want, doesn't mean that was the way it was originally.
So do you believe the Third form was originally a weapons form. I also found that Bart Jam Dao makes a great Snake Hand form. If you modify your hand posistioning to Spear hand and and Knife hand techniques you got a nice open handed form. Kinda like doing snake in Wing Chun. Try the BJD form with out swords but envision your hands are the blades and attack with those instead.
You will see what I mean?
But of course us today will not have the hand conditioning to make it really useful.
The Flow is relentless like a raging ocean with crashing waves devasting anything in its path.
"Kick Like Thunder, Strike Like Lighting, Fist Hard as Stones."
"Wing Chun flows around overwhelming force and finds openings with its constant flow of forward energy."
"Always Attack, Be Aggressive always Attack first, Be Relentless. Continue with out ceasing. Flow Like Water, Move like the wind, Attack Like Fire. Consume and overwhelm your Adversary until he is No More"
