George,
I hope you
dont mind me communicating with you since this an open wing chun
forum. I am sure Duncan Leung will answer your message. May I ask
you some questions? Because I didnt understand your message so well.
You have been studying wing chun for a long time it seems
and you only third rank? I dont get it. From my own experience with
TWC, you should be at least a gold slash instructor level or higher
even if you progress at a very slow pace, George? Are you now an
able instructor under William Cheung? I am assuming with all those
years behind your training, you should be able and capable of
teaching and applying William Cheung traditional wing chun tactics?
Out of my own curiousity, did you ask your own sifu why you
should punch with the bottom three knuckles or better why you should
only use the little finger knuckle?
I will comment that wing
chun fist is based on its theory then its form. I dont want to go
into the theory but if you play wing chun then you should know what
I mean by wing chun theory. The
optimal structure of the back,
shoulder, and wrist (arm) will articulate the ideal form of a wing
chun fist and its transfer of force. For example, you can test out
the proper wing chun fist by doing neutral wrist sun fist push ups
(single or double) and see and feel your own structure and weight
distribution. You notice that your last three knuckles can balance
the force/weight behind your wrists, elbows, and back. You should a
stronger knuckle structure in this position then if you place the
all your
leverage on the little knuckle of your fists. I hope
this helps and I may be wrong about this? Let see what Sifu Leung
has to
say?
Cheers,
Bao
