Very good analogy hendrik I agree…
SLT is done in a static posture or still stance where as chum Kiu deals with advancing forward into your opponent. and the mook yan jong deals with stepping to flanks of your opponent an going into him to disrupt his structure. Bil Gee does in fact include waist rotation or turning structure to fight but has less forward momentum than the MYJ and CK.
[QUOTE=Hendrik;1157980]There are three parts in WCK, namely, frame type, momentum type, and internal development.
Frame type is for develop basic movements for application. Ie tan sau. momentum type is for develop basic momentum in fighting. Ie Step forward press in disrupt center line, internal development is for developing the mind and body mechanics. Ie the six bows , the snake engine.
So, what do one practice when one does slt? Obviously, slt is mostly for frame type and internal development, not much for momentum type. In ck and bj, the frame type and momentum type are focus. In wooden dummy, it is mainly momentum type.[/QUOTE]
How do you feel your post disagrees with what hendrik is saying?
What are the five areas of practice?
[QUOTE=LoneTiger108;1158000]This may be true for your specific learning Hendrik, but this will not be the same for everyone imho.
As an example, the Siu Lim Tao I learnt has six sets, commonly divided into 3 sections. And these sets were/are actively trained in 5 distinctive areas by myself under strict guidance of my Sifu and peers. Just from this experience alone, I can safely say that we will have totally different approaches to the ‘training’ of SLT itself, not just the mimicking of a form, but the training of each of the 6 sets I mentioned earlier.
You may be interested to know that each set trains a specific power generation, or ‘bow’ as you like to use these days. But this skill is gained from taking each set through 5 areas of practise.[/QUOTE]
