Hello all,
Just striking a conversation here. LOL
Yesterday afternoon I witnessed a very interesting conversation between a WC instructor and a student, mind you this was very informal. He explained how many ppl in this day and age mistake WC's simplicity with inefficiency and then went on to explain that within the arts simplicity lied very complex principles that would take years to master. Deep stuff to my ears indeed.
The student asked the instructor about the offensive qualities of the three defensive hands...tan....bong...fook (he had heard about this before from someone else). The instructor showed him a couple of scenarios in which this was done. As I was intently watching the words Lin Siu Dai Da or Simultaneous Defense/Offense leaped into my mind. Now based on what I have pondered, my questions (since I did not go far in my WC studies) would be.....
a) can these defensive maneuvers actually be used offensively ?
b) am I right to assume that this would fall under the Lin Siu Dai Da principle?
I would love to hear your opinions or corrections on the subject. Thanks in advance.
