The idea is more important than the position. Form follows function, but function follows "intent". The mind must direct intention, the body or movement merely results. Movements are less important than inner understanding. Muscle. Structure. Intent. Each is greater than the last, despite what many teach. Yet another fascinating glimpse into a true master. Thank you.
Yes definitely. The state is the key. I always tell my students that the condition is always more important that the position. Having said this, having correct shapes and structures and positions is an important aspect on the path on gaining the right state. Unfortunately within the CST lineage, many practitioners disregard the correct shapes because all they are going for is relaxation. So that results in them attaining floppy/mind;less relaxation which is not what CST was teaching. 🙏
Thanks, Sifu Nima for sharing Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin theorotical knowledge of Wing Chun, I have watched many martial arts video without any useful knowledge, thanks again.
Glad you find these videos useful Suresh. if you are actually interested in learning this method of practice I suggest the online school as its the only thing available online that takes you through the method step by step. there are literally HUNDREDS of hours of instructional videos and it covers every aspect of the entire system as taught by grandmaster Chu: www.mindfulwingchun.online
Yes being able to tap into the ball joint is one aspect. also the shoulder blades. So its about the unique control of the entire shoulder girdle. According to Chu Shong Tin he was mainly using his ligaments. I think the Fascia has a big part in it as well
actually (sink) is the exact word of use muscular force or I can say (put down) , cause the human being tend to raise them Rhomboid and lift them shoulders up when action, but I think sifu CST meant to do the opposite Sink the Rhomboid muscles and put down your shoulder.
Its about relaxing all the muscles around the shoulder girdle. The skeleton is what settles and stays in place (sunk) while in action or under pressure
Well physiology is relevant but its also about how it feels from your perspective as an athlete. For example "shooting" like tan Sao doesn't exactly tell you how to do it or what to think, but when you get it right you may feel that. A Lot of stuff will be going on, but only some is useful to know. For example, when was the last time you thought about turning on your cells? it can be interesting, but in order to just do it you need the command.
Mindful Wing Chun don’t get me wrong. I am no way trying to mock you. Just a comment with improvement in mind. Love your work Sifu, love Sifu CST and his methods! Hope you come visit London soon!

I think it has something to do with the structure of the socket of the shoulder joint and its surrounding muscles.

where is the supported point to lift the forearm? is the center of mass, sifu ?
yes, the center of mass
