hi to you all!
i hope that this kind of forum is not a way of arguing such priciples in wing chun/ving chun/weng chun and so fort... to prove once theory but i'm aware that it's inevitable, we all agree we came from the same line, in shaolin. what come into my mind is a question that i seek for an answer but now i came across that answer. as an martial artist, let's pressume that you practiced 20 years in the world of martial art and haven't once step foot at the situation of life and death, how can you tell yourself that you are ready and about to use what you have learned for that span of years? when it will involve, as human, fear, nausia of the situation and most of all, guilt. they say practice will make it perfect... and some will say, take the first move by taking your guts, but the question is, how can you diffine 'guts' when in fact it has a broader seence? i agree that when you practice for that long, it will not be you fitting to the system but it will be the system of the art will fit in with you. and there will be the so called second nature in you. but let us consider that first step is the hard one. some will say, have some fight with the other martial artist to gain confidence in you and to your art and i would say partly correct but i would say, when you pick for a fight your just making up a mess. what i'm implying to your thoughts is, the psychological way of fighting. it has to be descern the whole truth even to the extent of saying is a brutal aproarch... if you practice weng chun. you will understand what i'm trying to say coz studying weng chun is like going back to your childhood when there is innocence. i will not go through it...i'm sorry to left you hanging if you don't understand.... :-)

recieve what come, follow as it goes, attack as it disengaged.
