Your wing chun should teach you to be as flexible as possible. Throughout your wing chun training you would have learnt the basic movements of the forms. They are just a bunch of movements that are completely unknown. It is only during your training class that you will learn to put these techniques into practice. You learn how to block a punch. Which move to use (bill Sao) also where to position your feet, where you should stand etc. You are roped learned into executing these moves. However with practice you not only learn how to do the moves, you begin to understand why they are done in a certain way. You learn concepts such as facing the point of contact. Using your opponents force.

That is why when you see the masters in action they are formless, they move seamlessly and with elegance.The fact is they make it look effortless. I just wonder how many hours and years it took to look so effortless and easy.

Know yourself that is the real key. Study your art no only on how to do it, but why.The reason its effective?What doesnt work and what does.
