Hi,
I've just started Wing Chun, and have a question on turning.
The school I go to teaches, When turning to right, lift the left foot and put it down facing right, which makes my right foot naturally follow and turn to the right as well. Is this a correct way to turn? The reason I am ask is because first I see many accomplished Chunners use their heels to turn either side. To me, turning on heels make more sense because that way you are maintaining constant contact with the ground and also I feel a lot less unnecessary vertical movement when turning on heels. When lifting a foot to turn to a side, however, I feel all my weight is being supported by the other foot and this kind of forces me to adjust and shift weight. Hope i am describing this clear. Can anyone comment on this, please..
