I see what you're saying…
Maybe my opinion is somewhat extremely colored by seeing the EWTO stuff…
Pure Leung Ting… OK.
But KRK is just clearly not Wing Chun anymore.
As for LT WT:
I'm using the Document "Wing Tsun Kuen" as a reference here.
The SNT, we can more or less agree on.
We put the main focus on the elbow here.
LT seems to be more concerned with "applications", we don't think that way about the form.
But Cham Kiu is where it starts to differ greatly.
We know that the motions, which are performed three times, tell us "hey, this is important!"
Cham Kiu turning, the pivot, is very important!
Both the Lan Sao turning, and the Bong-Jut turning.
For us the correct way is defined as such:
Please consider the following sources:
Observe how these three different lineage all coordinate the pivot the same way, while the LT way differs.
These three lineages are well separated, yet they are much closer to each other than WT's way is to any of them.
From a sort of "evolutionary" point of view we can deduce that LT's way is the "unusual" one.
What do you say to that?
