Sho-ju Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 What is Shaolin WC and how does it compare to other styles?
Draven Chen Zhen Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 Is Wing Chun and Wing Tsun the same martial art? But just a different name? :: Bless me father, for I have just killed quite a few men ::https://www.tricking.be
delta1 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 Different Romanized spelling. Also spelled Ving Tsun. Freedom isn't free!
Draven Chen Zhen Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 Ah cool. Then if I am not mistaking is Ving Tsun, Wing Tsun, Wing Chun a centered martial art. Like when you turn everything must be centered. I think that is one of the differences between Wing Tsun and Shaoling Kung Fu. ....that is all I got, sorry but I'm still a noob.

delta1 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 I'm not sure what you mean by "a centered martial art". There are several WC styles/lineages, and I'll leave it to the WCers to give you the specific differences. But all the WC that I've come in contact with does major on centerline control. They find and dominate your centerline, while effectively hiding and protecting theirs. If you can work with a WCer you might find that some understang of their centerline theory will help your Taiji, or any other arts as well. Freedom isn't free!
Draven Chen Zhen Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 ...centerline control.. That's what I meant. :: Bless me father, for I have just killed quite a few men ::https://www.tricking.be
Drunken Monkey Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 i wish people would stop talking about the centre-line.... it's just a line that bisects the body. it is meaningless without consideration of the mother-line and what follows... as for shaolin wing chun. i'm not sure if it exists. according to one legend, wing chun was created from parts/techniques that were being developed inside the temple before the burning but was only collected and developed fully outside of the temple on the opera boats. incidentally, there was a wing chun tong in the temple (at fujian i think, where the burnt temple was supposed to have been sited). also there is (i think) some connection with one of the hung gar lines as well, which ties in with the anti-ching movement that these two arts are so closely connected to. and regarding the different spellings of wing chun. most of the different spellings come from the yip man branch of wing chun and they have adopted the variations for various reason. the other lines all use 'wing chun'. and delta, about centre-line control helping tai-chi. while i'm sure being aware of how we do things will help, it's not as useful as what we do with our elbow... 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."
