My theory about the mainland and Michael Wong's version of WC is that, while it lacks the fine body structure training of modern Ip Man versions, it possibly makes up for in physical fitness.
I've seen in MW's videos that his training program is very difficult and it's designed to train balance, strengthening the legs, cardio work, etc. There's one where his student stands on top of a ball and does Siu Nim Tao on that. Michael Wong himself uses it to train with the Luk Dim Boon Kwan. I heard him explain to a student what it was for, just for simplicity sake, it trains the adduction which is found in all WC stances.
