I could almost make a song out of that subject line.
Anyway, I was just wondering how you practice a certain part of chum kiu in your lineage and what the reason is.
In one of the sections of chum kiu, you pivot with a single lan sao, do a kick, step 3 times with bong sao/wu sao, drop the hands and then do a punch after the third bong sao/wu sao. My question: what punch do YOU do there? We do the good old straight punch, but we USED to do one that was more like an uppercut. That was before our school was associated with Yip Ching.
At any rate, differences in interpretation always intrigue me. I'm not asking for this to turn into a big critique of other lineages; I am just honestly which punch you do and (if you know it) why.
