Anyone know the backstory to this clip?

This is not true. Some style such as the XingYi system doesn't even have the horizontal punch. Their Beng Chuan, Pao Chuan, and Hen Chuan are all vertical fist. In the longfist system, after you have passed the beginner training stage, all horizontal punches will be changed into vertical punch.

Plus, Hapkido, Isshinryu, boxing in Burma, Kali and Silat also make use of a vertical fist. So not a method exclusive to Wing Chun.

No.
Seriously I am blown away that this crap that has been discussed ad nauseum is still being rehashed over and over.

Please describe utilising the wing chun power chain with a horizontal fist

[YouKnowWho]

some people have an idea wing chun should look a certain way and that certain way is how they practice and anyone not doing it their way is wrong.

This just doesn't happen in the discussion of other systems. I have not heard any Judo guy said that his way is right and all other ways are wrong.

Why do you think this only happen in the WC discussion?

You would probably find judo guys saying this is people in judo regularly did something in judo comps that was not judo. Most of them just stick to judo however

These judo guys must hang out with the still unidentified BJJ black belts who accuse Eduardo Telles of heresy.
