Wing Chun's flaw

[Yaksha]

Wing chun is an amazing art in that it gives you everything straight up.
Every technique that is possible for the body to perform can be attained just through wing chun and maybe some strength or flexibility training.

But that is also wing chun's biggest flaw. It trains technique very fast, but it is impossible for wing chun to train the spirit.

That flaw shows like a sore when you look at it's practioners.
They get caught up in lineage and slight differences in technique and forget about the free flowing scource.

The whole point is that there is no technique.
If you understand the spirit of fighting, every technique is a good technique and every position is an adventagous position!

And with that, who cares about technique! Who cares about lineage! Just understand the limitlessness of it and there won't be any problem!

Do you lean back or lean foreward or stay centered. There is no answer! The answer is yes to all!

What matters is the spirit and the flow. Without that, you have nothing.

How long have you studied Wing Chun?

I cannot agree with your post. Too vague and wishful.

Cheers.

Have you seen two 5 year olds fight?

Lots of spirit and flow , and they don't give a hoot about lineage and technique either

Yaksha,
If spend more time training and less time typing, you will see the spiritual development. Perform the SLT/SNT for a hour and try each time to make it a perfect as you can. There is a meditative mindfulness to it.

Keep training - keep thinking.

So how much do you guys think I train?

Doesn't matter.

But, by what you've said so far, I think you need to-

Hey Andrew,

welcome back.

Haven't seen you for a while.......Did you take a vacation?

[anerlich]

Yeah, I had two great weeks in Broome and Northwest Australia.

Just understand the limitlessness of it and there won't be any problem!

On this plane of existence, limits may be somewhat flexible, but they ARE real.......

(Just imagining that you are "limitless" won't make it so.)

If you believe that you have no limits, it could be because you never push yourself hard enough to ever come near them.

Of course, it's always possible to continually extend the boundaries of your limitations, -but it takes hard work and applied intelligence.

In my own training, I have to acknowledge a limitation before I can begin to work on moving past it (to the NEXT plateau or limit).
