rabid hamster Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 https://www.wingchuninteractive.com Go there, and go to the centerline section. Shows where the centerline is and stuff. It's a cool site. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KickChick Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 I especially love ma interactive sites! Good one! However it really didn't go into detail about how it related to sparring. The centerline is important because many vital pressure points lie along it ( both front and back), such as the brain, throat, heart, solar plexus, bladder, groin, and spine. By shifting your centerline with respect to your opponent, you make it less accessible and vulnerable to attack. Your guard and blocks should always protect your centerline.The opponent's centerline serves as the convergence point of your strikes. Attacks should be directed toward this centerline. Do not aim your attacks and blocks past your's or your opponent's centerline or you will expose your side and rear to attack. If you can figure out how to control your opponents centerline, this lessons his ability to move and strike effectively. So understanding this centerline theory and being able to apply it while sparring can greatly enhance your ability to strike and defend. You must learn how to both attack and defend the centerline through blocking, kicking and punching. Stance and body shifting may be used to protect the centerline. Another way to protect the centerline is to move your body off the line of attack and distance yourself from the attacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True.The centerline is important because many vital pressure points lie along it ( both front and back), such as the brain, throat, heart, solar plexus, bladder, groin, and spine. Not the same thing however. The Centerline or Central Line (In Wing Chun Centerline Theory) is determined by the center of mass of the opponent regardless of his facing and you. If you point a finger at the opponent's Centerline and he shifts his body facing x number of degrees on his central axis your finger will still be pointing at his Centerline if you didn't move it. This is also the shortest line to the opponent. Thus it should be noted that the Centerline is a reference point having to do with the center of gravity or center of mass of the opponent with respect to yours but not the line of vital points, e.g. the solar plexus, nose, groin, etc., which changes with the opponent's facing.
