In another post pressure points were mentioned as a principle of Wing Chun. From what I have learned about Wing Chun--which is mostly through books and very occasional contact with practitioners (e.g. Jordan Yee)--I did not think that they played a significant role in the system. Can someone say more about the use of pressure points in Wing Chun? Do all styles of Wing Chun use them?

The principles of Wing Chun vary in wording but all pretty much state the same thing. They are:
1. Guard the Center
2. Face the Point of Contact
3. Economy of Movement
4. Touch Reflexes: Chi Sao
5. Watch the Leading Elbow
6. Use Linear Striking Action
7. Avoid Fighting Force Against Force
8. Train to Use Two Arms at the Same Time (block and strike symultaneiously)
9. Uses Pressure Points to Make Striking Techniques More Effective
10. Uses the Same Meridian Pressure Points as Treatment of Sports Injuries
