I'm very new to Wing Chun (1 month in) but am thoroughly enjoying it so far. When doing the Siu Lim Tao I have noticed the speed of the first section is done quite slowly, but the other sections are fast. What's the thinking behind this?
Having studied a little bit of Tai Chi way back when I was a teenager, I saw value in the intensively slow practice. Everything from relaxing, maintaining balance, to efficiency of movement was taken up in the slow form.
Is there a different philosophy to the Wing Chun forms? How fast/slow do people run through them? Is there much benefit to be gained from doing them super slowly vs at speed?
Thanks,
Af.
