Once seen, these movements cannot be unseen, the thing is CAN YOU SEE IT?
Hey Tribe and friendly visitors, something to ponder during yet another deluge.
All Forms are dancing until we make them singularly important and decide that they are something else, something meaningful, something uniquely special.
If we extend this to its logical conclusion if all Forms are dancing then all dancing is a Form and they are also are something else, something meaningful, something uniquely special.
In the exceptional video that I have chosen watch it with the sound as low as you can make it and still keep the rhythm then see if you can identify some very obvious Wing Chun movements.
If, as we claim, Wing Chun is made up of ‘normal everyday human movement’ and that there is ‘only one movement, only one shape, only one body’ Wing Chun should be, and is, everywhere.
Watching how dancers create complex movements from essentially simple shapes can help us understand, expand, and empower our Forms training.
Like them or not, Bollywood films have exceptional movements, and usually movements that come directly from the Martial Tradition.
Once seen, these movements cannot be unseen, the thing is CAN YOU SEE IT?
Dig it, get up, and boogie.
DANCE ME TO THE END OF TIME
