As he would press forward with a relatively fixed structure, I would slip by and flow around his forms and yet we were both without a doubt still following the same principles. Two sides of the same coin as it were. I ended up training with these guys for about a year while i was still in the area and it remains one of the best year of training I have ever had as it was showing me a side I didn't usually see and an envirnoment where not everyone was doing things the same way that i was.<BR/>The same but not the same.<BR/>The rational explaination is that we were both only taught one side of chi sau and hence wing chun as subsequently, I have been more able to apply my wing chun outside of the closed environment of my regular class (and style) much more easily now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111558.post-1135357009789570162005-12-23T08:56:00.000-08:002005-12-23T08:56:00.000-08:00If only it was that easy.
