    I would say the stance is only rooted when it needs to be, but that's just me...

    Remember there is different families, some more snake like than others

    Yea, just finished reading the Complete Wing Chun book by Chu, Richie & Wu and it has examples that have been attributed to just about every animal style but all I recognize in Wing Chun are upperbody parts from eagle claw, mantis, and snake...

    Found an example of eagle claw (ying jow / yingzhao) in the chapter on Pan Nam Wing Chun Kuen. "Emphasis on the huen sao (circling hand) technique at the end of each section shows the characteristic eagle claw training, with each finger slowly gripping."
