Form Follows Function

Form follows function? true or false.

What about in wing tsun?

"We" make great strides in emphasizing how tan shall look, how stance shall look, where are elbows are in relation to fists, torso...why? if all we need is the function, why teach the form? why not just teach the function?

Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? DNA or RNA? tan sao or what tan sao is supposed to do?

To Come

I've been keeping up with my blog since its inception, regularly and with discipline. Come spring/summer, be ready for some video clips to complement my blogs and possibly, some workout routines to get the blood going and to add some flare to your current wing tsun regimen. I would welcome any suggestions you may have.

One thing I've found incredibly difficult is to express wing chun with words that will distinguish it from other arts. I mean, phrases like "yield to a greater force" or "use your opponents strength" are said in every other art, but IN MY OPINION, not applied as such. And those of you reading now already don't believe me. Well, let's hope video can better demonstrate.

Otherwise I'll just forward you my address and I will show you myself.*

Until then.
