Drunken Monkey Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 not exactly the same thing as his example but along the same lines. i'm pretty sure that you and i are talking about the same thing when we say structure or alignment. (but i would've thought 'body structure' was pretty much self explanatory...) the point is, in wing chun, we aim to always maintain 'perfect' structure so that we always face you with our strongest position; thus by just stepping forward we are using our 'total' body weight behind whatever we are doing without over commitment. adding this body weight to whatever 'extra' (i.e pull on your arm+extension of our arm) adds to the effectiveness of our intentions. like i say, i am stating my points purely on the basis of wing chun where ABSOLUTE maximum power isn't our main concern. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
