If you do something several times, it is probably because it is important. The fook sao must be properly structured with the elbow in and at the centerline so the proper form is critical because of how important the fook sao is for controlling the centerline. Think of how easy a fook sao could turn into a fist, and how it can also prevent an opponent striking you with a joot sao and leaves you a clean target.
Only 1 tan sao in SLT? Lemme think...actually I counted 4 tan sao's in SLT:
-The 2nd move goes through a cross-armed partial double tan sao when coming up from the first movement
-After the chung kuen
-After the pak sao/chang geng
-The 1st tan sao after the pak sao/chang-geng goes to gum sao then back to tan sao
BTW Chum Kiu say 'sup...8 double tan sao, 6 upward tan sao, 12 bong sao with 6 of them going from bong sao to tan sao!
All the lineages are real, what kind of question is that? Some of his students evolved it a bit such as Wong Shun Leung who added kicks but in general, you are just learning the alphabet from different teachers who were students of the same headmaster. As you know, handwriting can vary here and there, even when taught by the same teacher.
Just go a class and you'll see that the sihing are not all identical in their application.
As Sifu says (who was trained by Ip Man's son Ip Ching): "we teach you the alphabet and you write your story". It's not combo's 1-10.

whoa there cowboy. If you read the messages previous to my question in the thread, you would see I was asking SifuBoza based on statements he made on the matter. I wasnt saying there is a 'real' yip man style.

Ain't a cowboy but you can definitely say "whoa tiger" lol. I saw a bit of that exchange but I'll be happy to take it back from your direction if I have misunderstood or saw it the wrong way.
