Bizarre to read about Wingchunners who say that SLT is almost nothing for power development.The form is just a textbook maybe?..
Hereâs a view of mine: SLT in fact is not producing power!..It is just creating appropriate conditions for power delivery.Not the same thing! It trains structure to back up power and relaxation to transfer power to the target.It trains also mental awareness so power can be delivered at the right moment and timing.
Wing Chun power is like an arrow.It is sent his way by an initial push and take itâs impact force from the lengh of itâs shaft coupled with itâs speed. âJoint powerâ But,this arrow can be stopped and redirected at any moment by the âbowmanâ!..
The more SLT,the more âWing Chun Powerâ ⢠It is not the only way but it is the way Wing Chun does it.

On the other hand people get carried away with the complexity thing. The f=ma model to the layman is just saying that someone with a lot of speed and a big arm is going to do a lot of damage.
No one can explain all the fine mechanics. E.g. in playing the piano there are supposedly a few hundred subactions involved and sometimes rates of 20 notes a second are reached. Even if someone could explain that, it would be totally useless except from an academic viewpoint or for the field of robotics do duplicate human activity.
I think people also get carried away with trying to line up some acupuncture point with some other acupuncture point in their training positions. At the level of Tyson, that kind of stuff doesnât matter. I doubt if Gracie has any concern for those things too. Of course Iâm no QiGong expert who would know something about that.

Very True. The old theorician get carried away by the classical writing. the modern advocate carried away by what they think is the âtruthâ.
Welll, Kuit is not a theory but a process. similar to a process of making cookies. if tomorrow some people prove that the world is flat. the process of making cookies still works.
Thus, the chinese keep thier kuit secret but reveal all the theories.
As for the 4 type of power in SLT? that is very simple. no physics, no ⌠there is a process to activate it. as I have heard what the legend said.
we need Mr. Dangerfield to give us a lecture about it, Old Jong!
yellowpikachuâ how many powers? How many bananas ina bunch.?
Taxonomy can be arbitrary- depending on what is regarded asa subset of another.
If by power one means jing/gengâ the slt is the major foundation so it provides the basis for all the geng-sâŚ
taxonomically mire than 4depending on their meanings.
But for building on the foundations- there is more to wing chun
thus I have heard there are only 3 power types or was it 2. Well anyway I heard something to that effect or maybe it wasnât quite power but more about strengths and how to levearage them or would that be it. Thus I heard it explained things happen when pikachus fly, but donât sweat the small stuff now I am sure I heard it that way.
âTHUS I HAVE HEARDâ - The traditional opening phrase of Buddhist sutras to show their credibility and authenticity.
Oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense :rolleyes:
So all the Buddhists sutras are hearsay and would be inadmissible in court. Credibility and Authenticity, huh!
OJ, I agree with you about the role of SLT in learning the basic structure for transmission of power.
What I have a problem with is the notion that if you did SLT and no other training, you would be able to hit anything with power, or for that matter, be able to hit a live opponent at all.

are you an international police on how people must post according to you in the open forum?

This is why we must in complement practice our punches,hit the bags,etcâŚWe are not so much different after all! But IMO SLT helps in understanding many things.
