Wck off spring from the red boat era are not too far way from each others.
There are something which is more involve when we go behind those basic stuff. Ie how to has a rattan body or coil spring coil spring power.
If you go back to retread my posts including yik kam transform, you will see how the big picture and details are presented in a systematical way, but most of us needs many revision to get it. To answer, what, why, how, when, and who are the focus instead of who is better or real Wck or oldest Wck which is not my focus at all.
But some of us will not like it because we would not want the know how far we have evolve away without our own idea.
History is not everyone’s interest but proper history does clearlify the art of Wck. Some don’t like to face history because they cannot face the facts of the past .
[QUOTE=BPWT;1238404]To be fair to Hendrik, his recent posts have had a bit more clarity. For me, with that clarity I realize that much of what he talks about in his Wing Chun, is actually also in my Wing Tsun (and probably a lot of what he is talking about is present in most people’s WT/WC/VT too).
Hendrik uses his own terminology to describe things, and sometimes that makes things sound fairly complicated. In truth, when he boils things down to more concise videos and simpler posts, much of his material, IMO, is present in others training too. I think he would be the first to admit that it’s not rocket science, and often not exclusive to his version of Wing Chun.
He often uses analogies to try and make things clearer - which is good, but it is easy for some to take the analogy too literally. E.g. springs, coiled springs, rattan canes etc. these are just words/expressions to help build an image in the mind of what is happening. Our bodies are not really springs, not really canes, etc. You just need to take the idea behind them and apply it how we move, react, etc.
For some, Hendrik’s view of WCK history is wrong - and there’s nothing wrong with debating a point… but it feels to me that some people (JP in Arizona) deliberately post on Hendrik’s threads with the single intent of insulting the guy. Which is weird. Ignore his threads and posts if you don’t want to really engage (not a direct reference to you, tc101).[/QUOTE]
