Yes, especially that point. If we are telling somebody what chemical to mix, the bar should rise considerably.

[Wing Chun Wrench]

yeah exactly. i once spent a night hearing a furnace click the same way and kept waiting for the bad part to show up

[Wing Chun Wrench]

yeah the hands are the easy part. feet are where the ugly truth lives

[Wing Chun Wrench]

Maybe. But if the bag is lying to you, that is on your hands not the bag.

I like tools that tell the truth fast.

I used a wing chun step from a form in a scrap once. Worked better than…

[Wing Chun Wrench]

Right, bag gives honest feedback. But it won’t show if you can actually enter on a…

[Wing Chun Wrench]

Yeah, and it has no patience for excuses. Pretty handy that way.

Put the same idea on pads and see if it still lives

[Wing Chun Wrench]

yeah, timing maybe. not the same as somebody trying to take your head off though

[Wing Chun Wrench]

Yeah exactly. The form is there to give you a place to start, not a magic seal of approval.

Ive seen guys get married to the story of the movement and forget to hit hard.

You can keep the shape from the form and test it on the bag or a body. If it falls apart, toss it. If it works under pressure, keep it simple and repeat it. Forms are fine for building a habit, but the bag doesnt lie. Sparring is better if you can do it safely.

Five votes should be easy here. I hope the room can tolerate both committed practitioners and skeptical people.

Missed the housewarming. Place is still standing, so I assume the important work got done right.

[Wing Chun Wrench]

yeah, and nobody can fix the damn thermostat either
