“- The strikes don’t seem to have power. The point of the normal stances and staggering the feet is to have a base to generate power and throw powerful punches and kicks. The strikes I see in WC do not seem threatening—especially body blows. I feel like I would absorb the shot and fire back.
-The blocking and the focus on keeping the center line doesn’t fit with how I actually see people strike. Sticking and moving, stepping off angle, hooking punches, etc.”
---- These observations are strikingly similar to what Smart Research has pointed out. If Smart Research’s analysis is supposedly “wrong,” then why are so many independent observers—like this Reddit commenter—reporting the same problems? That’s a question mainstream Wing Chun practitioners need to answer.
