Excellent post!
Zed, if you read this, what did you take away from Wing Tsung? I've studied many of the martial arts you listed, and, those are very accurate analogies IMHO. My Sifu used to describe Karate punches like a baseball bat, swinging down swiftly. Gung Fu punches were like a chain, with a big metal ball on the end, swinging smoothly and softly, with all the Qi concentrated on the strike. I liked that one. All I know is Wing Tsung is damn fast, and things happened before I knew it ;)
I am too a lazy martial artist, and can proudly say that with my kids in my lap, and a beer in my hand. I swear I'm going to teach them someday, so, it will come back to me then. Round 2!
- zedshaw 17y agoWell, I had injured my shoulder years ago in a car accident, and for some reason many of the techniques in Wing Tsung irritated it and messed it up. I eventually had to quit and even still I can't really turn my right arm like I used to. So, I didn't get as much out of WT as I'd hoped. I would say that I learned quite a lot about soft-yet-powerful punching that can cause damage but take very little effort. I also think I learned about the idea of a punch and a block being the same thing, or that there just wasn't a need to have a difference between them.
