Hello again,
I just created a new thread another subject but I spent the day thinking about these particular topics and wanted to get them all posted as soon as possible (hungry forum fists).
In practicing Wing Chun, I've found it useful to take notes on particular transitions between structures. As such, while taking notes, I gradually fell into a note taking convention. The convention I followed banked slightly on my musical background (studied composition) and was useful to me in large part because of how closely the art seems to relate to music theory/practice (here's a thing I posted in my blog about Wing Chun & Music). It isn't perfect because it isn't really possible to apply discrete variables to movements that exist within a continuum without applying serious calculus. That said, as a reminder of broader movement it really served it's purpose and was often supplemented with minor additional notes.
I've attached a PDF describing the notation (Word docs aren't allowed) and am curious about two things:
P.S. If you would like the Word format, let me know and I'll message you a box link.

- Have others in the found themselves developing a shorthand for note taking?
- How would other lineages modify the attached document to incorporate their taxonomies?
- Do any practitioners have general feedback on the notation and/or ways to improve it?
