What's the Wing Chun power generation model? Does WC use

1. rear-wheel drive - body push arm,
2. front-wheel drive - body chase arm,
3. four-wheel drive - body and arm move at the same time?

Is four-wheel drive model possible in MA? Your thought?

I thought it was a case of walking in to position then striking. Using the momentum from the footwork to put juice into the shot.

Which is how a lead right in boxing mostly works.

In WC the power comes from

-spring force
-shifting
-drag step
-hand speed

In some combination.

Arm and body, simultaneous.

Does

- "spring force" generate your "hand speed"? or
- "hand speed" generate your "spring force"? or
- both are separated and independent?

Both. Hand speed (ala the loose, elbow down straight punch) is fed and made faster by the 'spring' in the legs and back.

There are several different methods in my Wing Chun:

1. Jian Dai Lik (Low Elbow Power) generated primarily by the thrusting of the punch by the triceps muscle, while keeping the elbow pointed down.

2. Jun Ma (Hip Power) generated by a quick rotation of the hips, waist, and shoulders, similar to other martial arts.

3. Deun Ging (Short Power) generated within 3 inches to the target by a coordination of the wrist, elbow, and stance.

4. Bik Bo (Invaiding Step) generated by stepping into the target and punching at the same time.

Sounds quite similar, although your chinese lexicon is obviously better than my own.

1: is what I meant by 'hand speed'
2: is what I mean by 'shifting'
3:Is what I meant by 'spring force'(although, in your style this power doesnt also come from the legs and back?)
4: is what I meant by drag step.

Everything sounds better in chinese though doesnt it? :)

1. Hand speed is important along with elbow positioning to us

2. Same

3. Yes

4. In our style we don't drag the back leg, we launch off of it
