A very good read indeed! And totally relevant to WCK imo. Begs the question ‘what is the ‘code’ of Wing Chun?’

Personally, I felt an awakening in the body fairly early in training. In fact I like to use the term ‘youthful’, as I felt as healthy as I did as a child and the body was moving so naturally at will.

All this by just therapying the ‘seed’ of WCK within SLT…

I like the link too Terence but I’ll be honest when I say this is nothing short of common sense. Muscle memory, as a term, has been knocking around for as long as I can remember and maybe the word ‘muscle’ was incorrect, in relation to neural transmission, but the results were always the same.

I like the point of not having to understand which Neurons are involved to make them work. It’s all very simple.

It also implies as to why WCK, as a concept and principle based system, which often relies on contact to guide to the appropriate reaction, was deemed as quicker to learn than older systems. Those which consisted of many forms and relied on answer A for attack B sure can work (not an old system per se but look at Kyokushin as example), if the many years of hard work was put in, to download the package as it were.

I question ‘all education being physical’ as learning a language requires much more than retaining the shapes the tongue makes, as example.

Peace
