Excellent points, Alex. I was just watching a video of Samuel Kwok demonstrating the long pole thrust twisting his rear hand into a palm-up position rather than with both the rear elbow and rear palm down as we learned in WT. Your explanation makes it very clear why the elbow and palm down structure is advantageous.
I have been thinking a lot about Elbow Power since I got that teaching from SIFU GARY LAM at his awesome seminar this year - I can see how "elbow in" engages the muscles in the back to provide structure and anchor the "bridge" and give power from the ground. Can't wait to train in person again and get out of my lonesome boat in a big ocean. There is nothing better than training in person at a GREAT SCHOOL. Thanks for keeping me company out here on the high-seas and thanks for your great, helpful comments and shares.
Can you practice correctly with a shorter pole master ? I practice with about a 5ft pole but is really heavy is this good or bad for me ? Anyone else please let me no thanks Jamie keen wing chun.

good explanation and you're correct, many, when thrusting turn the back hand over so only the thumb is bracing the pole from popping up.
Elbow in.. exactly

@file66 facts. 😁
I guess to condition his hands wrists to have power and flexible correct?
If you are an old man with no grip power and want to be killed anyways this is actually a very good advice.
