...but I'm still waiting to see any sort of application against a resisting partner...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I'm with Eric on this one.
There is no doubt that in his own mind, Hendrik thinks he has discovered/uncovered something unique in his world of wing chun; but all we continue to see are examples of it being used in an unrealistic fashion.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I listened to Hendrik for a long long period but then finally gave up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I did as you, but I really didn't give up ... did however woke up with the key board imprinted on my face.
An good sleep aid for sure, might try watching it with an tablet in bed.
SLT is very much an internal training aspect of wc.Internal vs external. First all arts if done properly end up the same place they just start in differently...
Wing Chun people may not like what I am about to say, but I tend to look at Siu Lim Tao as one of the best Qigong exercises I have ever done and it is very good a internal, external and fajin training, or at least that is my approach to it, but what do you expect I'm a Taiji guy that also does a little qigong.
-------Agree. Unfortunately people just learn the sequence of motions without understanding slt.It's real problem with the spread of wing chunSLT is very much an internal training aspect of wc.
Like Vajramusti stated SLT trains you-period.
There is a very strong gigong element within SLT and should be maintained as one progresses into other aspects of the system. Unfortunately many do not spend the amount of time in SLT to truly learn it. They quickly move onto CK never really learning SLT. They know the what the movements and positions are but never understand their bodies or what creates the movements and what the particular positions are used.
You will not find it on youtube but can with a knowledgeable instructor and time actually doing it.
SLT trains you-period. Both external and internal.
I didn't get that from Youtube!
---------------------------------------------------------------------Problems with two different posts-Internal, external , there is no difference , with a lot of training any given art will become internal . Using Chinese terminology and taoist and Buddhist proverbs to describe "internal" practice is just a way to make things more confusing and present yourself as a holder of some special, secret knowledge . "Internal" is just a way to describe a level of someone's skill , how well someone controls and uses his own body , that is all . Western boxing can be internal as well as any Chinese art and that is easy to see in a way how experienced boxers generate power for their punches , it is a form of Fa Jinn or whatever you want to call it , and it is just maximized efficiency in using certain way for power generation and maximized control of the body , that is all . There is no secrets , no special powers and like someone said it is designed to be used in a fight , if i does not work, then , it is a waist of time
I haven't got involved with the "internal vs. external" discussion for a long time. Since this is 2015, I'll just add my 2 cents into this discussion.
The force vector can go in different directions in the 3D space. Most "internal" guys like to talk about forward force vector. How about
- backward force vector? How will you use "internal" to pull such as to drag your opponent forward?
- upward force vector? How will you use "internal" to lift such as to lift your opponent off the ground?
- downward force vector? How will you use "internal" to press such as to drop your knee on top of your opponent's chest while he is on the ground?
- rotation force vector? How will you use "internal" to twist such as to throw a more powerful roundhouse kick?
When you apply those different force vectors, can you truly be able to tell whether you are using "internal" or "external"? What should an "internal" lift suppose to look like?
