I enjoy reading your challenging obsrevations.
It is a pitty that you have missed some of the primary theory in the classes you've attended.
You might not say who you are, but it is the content that is political, but still friendly.
It is good to think. but that will depend on your experience before and in class.
I agree. You don't know what your in for when you enter a fight.
As for being 'simple direct and efficient', is a key idea behind training. But the presentation of that is up to the instructor, is it not.
I realise after I wrote it that my comment about
'defending' against a round punch went to the point of counter attck, which Wing Chun provides, as do other styles. I think Wing Chun is a brilliant system, although it does have very few weaknesses. Are you sure you got the point?
I am happy to meet to. I enjoy challenging discussions and practice, but it will be difficult to meet 'cause I live in Oslo. Maybe when I come to Melbourne next.

Hi Linda,
I still check my own board ;D
I just don't participate in political discussions... so how are you anyway?

Oslo, oh d**n.
Wekanesses to the system, you are correct. Man my word order is sounding like Yoda, if I were more like Yoda wouldn't have to do wing chun also.
Well I would say that the limitations of Wing Chun are not that bad. I mean maybe one or two situations could break through but it seriously involves the opponent going against the general idea of attacking - that is they'll probably break through by accident.
As for the true limitations of wing chun and why it maynot always work, I basically say it is the human that employs it. Unless you understand the concepts you can't make it work and humans cannot do things like robots and machines, makint he perfect shapes and all that.
Apart from that, I'm pretty happy with the wing chun system. In reality I haven't had to use the techniques much (although I use the concepts) because although I'm nto super tall I do have a little more bulk than the average Tom, thingy and Haryy.
As for the BPKFS, if you believe that it works then keep on it. I guess until it is fully tested out I can't say much. But I think I would be fair in saying 'the system isn't for me?'
is that a little more diplomatic? Oh wellz, nice conversation with you.

In my training with BPKFS I have found simplness, directness and efficienticiency to be one of the key pricipals in training. With Wing Chun Centreline is stress to summarise this, although the above mentioned applies very much to the approach to training. Sorry you haven't found that yet.
Identitity is not just political, manners of discussion and points assered are too.
It is very important to think, analyse and question.
Fighting involves many risks which are unnecessary.
Wing Chun is a very good style which has few faults. I use it, but remnain mindful of limitations and 'traps' that a practitioner can fall into, such as tension, stiffness, brutality, etc.
What I said previously was more than defence, yes, it was counter attack, which Wing Chun is good to consider the next move. BUt it is not the only style to do this.
Skill developed is a very deciding factor, one that incorporates very much more than just use of arms.
I have a basic understanding of Kung Fu. One that I find is easily developed further, especially when I train with BPKFS in Melbourne. Unfortunately I don't live there at the moment, so I must train in isolation.
I would love to meet with you open_mind, I'm sure we could learn something together. It will have to wait 'till I am in Melb again, unless you're in Olso sometime. How can I message you if you don't post your email in your profile?
Good luck with your training experiences. I hope you choose them wisely.

white_rabbit - "How do you defend against a round punch, such as Choy Li Fut 'Sao Choy', with efficiency and directness?? "
Bil Sau with a punch/palm strike and 45 degree step forward all at same time. Or you could take a step back wait for the punch to pass and stomp/kick the knee.
Simple works best i think.
