Simplification of information requires that at some point we need to be overcomplicated and moderately confused.
We all know that Wing Chun is a concept based Martial Art that is based around the Sil Lim Tao.
The ‘small thought or little idea’.
But what exactly is that?
After 30 years of training, I have concluded that the Sil Lim Tao as a concept is a Chinese equivalent of the ‘Law of Parsimony’.
Simplification of information requires that at some point we need to be overcomplicated and moderately confused.
We better get started is all I can say.
The IDEA of the ‘FRAME’ as a virtual reality 3-dimensional construct that we constantly use as our method of representing points in a space of given dimensions by internal physical coordinates. may sound a bit whacky at first but it is simple, quite elegant and readily accessible to anyone with any imagination.
Over the coming weeks I will attempt to expand and simplify the whole IDEA of building and working from the FRAME as opposed to using more common, physical or mechanical means.
This methodology is central not only to Wing Chun but to most other Martial Arts, all sport or any form of movement technology that is intended to be functional such as dance or acrobatics.
