    I'll bite.

    Simple: A collection of techniques that are commonly related. Examples: the "chaining" or "circular" path that they make, that almost all techniques flow out from the "heart" level, etc.

    Direct: Fast. The ability for the self-defense system to not have any extra motions or movements. No flowery hands.

    Efficient: It works. Depending on the day that I'm having, my skill level and my opponents skill level, it is generally a good system that is put together and works.

    Best,

    Simple: a small number of techniques/strategies which are easily understood and performed.

    Direct: strikes follow shortest, most direct path to the target

    Efficient: maximum results for minimum effort. More bang for your buck.

    Simple.....

    Just what it suggests. No difficult jumping around and doing things that make no sense. Just a hand full of techniques that can devestate an enemy.


    Direct ...

    Again, nothing difficult to perform. Just technique that is direct and to the point.


    Efficient

    Both simple and direct equal this. Efficiency. No wasted energy, movement, or dangerous moves that can get your ass kicked. No drugstore heroics. Just simple, direct and efficient.

    Simple.....LESSON ONE--------PUNCH THEM IN THE NOSE
    Direct .... LESSON ONE--------PUNCH THEM IN THE NOSE
    Efficient...LESSON ONE--------PUNCH THEM IN THE NOSE

    Only when an opponent has the ability to withstand lesson one use lesson two!

    After 34 years in the business I still refer to lesson one in any confrontation that has become physical, any deviation depends upon personal knowledge and specific parameters that depend upon experience and assessment of the situation faced.

    simple - learn to apply the concepts and principles & stick to your identity and the rest takes care of itself.

    direct - C.L and continous fwd energy.

    efficient - by using the least amount of energy & economy of motion to get the job done.

    But "punch them in the nose/face" sure does sum it up well for all 3!!

    Who says these "three words are the goal of WC"?

    What makes WCK simpler, more direct, more efficient than boxing or muay thai or MMA?

    I disagree because other Styles strive to be simple, direct and efficient.

    Simple -: an idea stripped down to its fundamental fact or set of facts.
    Direct -: the quickest way along a path to a goal
    Efficient -: Maximize the gains for your investment.

    I'm not one to emphasize the "sifu sez" approach, but Wong Shun Leung himself described WCK as being "simple, direct, and efficient." That's good enough for me! We aren't talking about boxing, muay thai or MMA here.

    Keith, who cares what Wong says?

    If we look at the definition of "skill" from a motor science perspective, it is defined as a person's ability to perform a specified task with maximum certainty and with a minimum of effort and/or time. My point is that "simple, direct, efficient" just means "skillfully". And it is determined from actual results, not theory.

    I brought boxing, muay thai, BJJ into this because their practitioners are doing the exact same thing: trying to solve combative problems "skillfully". Before we can even begin to talk about how skillfully a person or approach solves those problems or performs those tasks (how simple,direct, efficient), or compare persons or approaches, we need to begin with actual results. And in the actual results department, . . . .
