Me too (though I'm only pushing 16 years in the art ). Although, the ones that do fly and make the art their own are amazing.
On the other hand, I've seen a lot of people try to skip over drills/ concepts/ conditioning and end up with shoddy Wing Chun. I suppose the trick is knowing when to step out of the nest.

According to you know one here does have a clue, apart from you and the other pb n*triders, strange how you care so much to post every day about how clueless we all are, mock others when they actually have the b&lls to post clips of themselves when all you can post is clips of your mancrush doing chi sao and pole work……and yet you cant find the time to post one clip of yourself doing anything…and i mean anything
Seriously why do you bother
Actually its a wing chun forum, and since you seem to think your VT is so different from everyone elses why dont you ask them to start a VT one
hit a nerve, Lol if you had i might have made a few cracks about your obsession with PBs poll...i just happen to think your behaviour is both funny as h*ll and sad as f&ck, trying to convice people you have the secret wing chun without having the b*lls to post any clips
Troll behaviour 101
tell everyone they are doing the art wrongly
never post any clips of yourself in action
Always talk down about other lineages and say yours in the correct one and only your lineage has the real art
who does that sound like here?
How can I be owned when I freely admit what arts I have done and haven’t done? Do you engage your brain before typing?
When have I ever said I do wing chun, I have said before I did some wing chun back in the day and pop in here for a laugh because its probably the funniest forum here (unintentionally)
And you are a classic example of why the forum is so funny, why the likes of Alan post their clips here is beyond me
So how about posting your clips for the wing chun guys here to Critique, or do we have to wait for hell to freeze over for that to happen
OK. So I think I see where you guys are going with this structure wise. Many times the inner hand gets collapsed in to the chest. In "our" WC structure that's undesirable. You guys seem to try to change the angle to free it up. I can accept that as a workable alternative. I can see how a collapsed elbow half extended biu could by changing the angle could provide the extension needed to give it structure.
Believe it or not we do a lot of that type of thing in BJJ - if something is pinned change the angle to free it.
I still think it can be problematic like around :46 to :48 of that clip - the aikido wrist lock attempt there is not very realistic and I don't think would hold up to harder pressure.
Sure - agree. The structure in that cover actually does come from connecting the hand to the head and absorbing the strike on the forearm. Without the elbow connection to the hip, unless another support structure is employed like that the crashing power of the punch will get through and cause problems.
I'm not a purist enough to argue the meaning of "wu" beyond the concept of "inner hand".
