Interesting. I practice both the chung kuen and cross the same way, both "natural" and from guard.
Obviously the more alive version of it feels more right but then I've always felt that was a better way to go.

"I don't know if anyone is known with the art of "sitting on your couch" here, but in my eyes it is also to be a martial art.
It is the art of avoiding dangerous situations. It helps you to avoid a dangerous situation by not actually being there. So lets say there is a dangerous situation going on somewhere other than your couch. You are safely seated on your couch so you have in a nutshell "difused" the situation."
