[QUOTE=T.D.O;1322201]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[/QUOTE]
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.”

[QUOTE=T.D.O;1322193]Centre of gravity line, is line that goes through that point and the one that I was taught to attack
when you say centre line, what do you refer to as the centre line?[/QUOTE]
It is the axis that runs from the top of your head to the bottom of your torso.
[QUOTE=YinOrYan;1322079]Yeah, but to get the so-called next level the long tail of the snake forms would have to be put back. All the Wing Chun I’ve ever seen appears to only use the heads of the snake. Snake style kung fu they say it was derived from covers a lot of ground, more so than any other animal forms I know except perhaps for eagle claw…[/QUOTE]
WCK is a short range fighting art,you fight in close like a judo or wristler would fight you..
[QUOTE=T.D.O;1322149]or is your centre point just the C O G line??
If not where is your centre point?
Thanks[/QUOTE]
The Center Point is just below the navel.. Its the balance point of the body.
