I got into Wing Chun primarily because of an interest in movement and biomechanics. I have been doing aikido for most of my adult life, and I’ve always seen some interesting parallels to WC. But I was also put off by all the fighting :-) A few years ago I managed to find a WC-teacher who is also interested in and knowledgeable about movement and mechanics. This got me hooked in the practice - And the fighting part is growing on me I guess. What sparked my interest in the smart fighter program is also this very logical approach to movement - something I find useful beyond its mere application to fighting :-)

@Sifu Stubby Webb Is there a philosophy to Wing Chun? My background is Japanese martial arts, and I don't know so much about the Chinese arts, but they seem to me less connected to a philosophy than the Japanese arts ... but I could be wrong. Please enlighten me :-)
Thanks!!
Just finished ‘the four seeds’. Very nice! I’m a few years into my Ving Tsun journey, and this has been very enlightening so far!

@Tomek Gjøl well, a few things. First off, I really like the conceptual approach; that wu-sau, for example, is not a technique, that looks in a fixed way, but rather an idea that can be expressed in many different techniques or handpositions. Thinking like that, really made me understand Laan-sau better through understanding wu-sau. It's not that this is new to me, but the videos made it very concrete. How all handposition can be boiled down to four (taan, wu, fook, bon), and how these four is really just positions in rolling your arm from one side to the other. I don't know it this makes sense to you, but it makes a lot of sense in my head :-) Also the various concepts of deflecting, unloading etc., really put into words something that I know already, but i didn't have a language for. I'm gonna start asking myself, when I practice "was this deflecting or X or Y?" I think that will be very helpfull in understanding what I'm already doing. ...and lastly; the idea of really being aware of the second hand was new to me. I mean I've probably heard something like it before, and I can see, that that is what my seniors are doing, and why I keep drawing the short straw; I simply don't plan ahead, but am happy just getting the first hand out of the way ... So I'm going to start doing that :-) theres probably more, but i'll end it here :-)

When you sit, sit. When you stand, stand. When you walk, walk. Don’t wobble.
