The yik kam transform

[Hendrik]

WCK is a fighting art. That's the purpose, that's what it was desighed for. Health is an added bonus.-----------------

That is not the 1850 view.

The 1850 view is WCK is a fighting art support by specific body mind development.

The ancient Chinese called fighting as yoong or applications of the art. The body mind development as tee or body of the art.

The applications of the art and the body mind development is in separable.

As Leung jan of gulau said. Power is from neigong. A big part of YKT is neigong.


If YKT as you approach it is correct (I am neutral on this, I am not in a position to say it is or it is not), then whoever practice this method SHOULD also be good fighters. -------------

Have a solid training and good fighter are different issue.

Good student from prestige engineering school is not default to be a good design engineer.



Then Hendrik, you should at least be a good enough fighter to cross hands with friendly challengers with different backgounds. -------

That is my personal private life , similar to anyone , which doesn't need to expose to the public.

In fact my late sifu Cho Hong Choi who was well known in kong sau in Penang Malaysia taught me.
Kong sau is a personal private thing, it is non of others business. You win you lost, keep you mouth shut and keep training. Your ability is not a public shows business.



I do agree that people should meet Hendrik and decide for themselves, before making their minds up. ------

I shared openly but it is up to others to take it or leave it. That is thier freedom.




But I do advice that WCK is a practical fighting art; so one should strip away all the distractions and assess the YKT method from a practical point of view, instead of focusing on waving hands over each other for health and well-being. -------

That view is not applicable to YKT.

YKT is based on Wing Chun 1850, And chinese internal martil art tradition, it balancely present the body of the art and the applications of the art in a five layers catagorization to clearly present the big picture and details.





A racing car is designed for racing; while it can take little old ladies to the local corner store, it is not what it is made for.------------


YKT is the ancient Chinese wing Chun 1850 present in modern language on build and maintain the race car engine and race with that specific type of engine. It is the Chinese Confusian tradition to practice humbleness and humanity on top of capability.
