I've seen a lot of gung fu, wing chun included, whereby the class is basically a karate or tkd class but with wing chun movements. Everything is done from an external perspective, meaning being solely dependant upon muscles as the generator for power. No talk is made of the internal component of the gung fu, or its done through lip service and not through action. This made me think a lot about the whole idea of the internal / external balance that kung fu was/is known for.
Does your method of wing chun practice chi gung? Does your wing chun react in a soft manner? Does it use softness against force? Does it deflect and use the opponents momentum against them? Does it practice relaxation in movement and breathing even under pressure?
Or are you merely rushing in and blocking with your tan's and pak's whilst chain punching?
