Interview with YKS practitioner Dr. Cheung Yung

[Pacman]

in the video around 2:50 dr. cheung says that fung siu ching was probably the one who condensed his wing chun into the 3 forms (SLT, CK, BJ) that we know today.

he explains further that the WC that YM learned was from shaolin roots jee sim, etc. much different than the WC that YKS had learned.

around 4:40 he explains the many longer forms of the the southern shaolin based WC.

aside from the characteristics that dr. cheung mentioned in the video of YM WC's shaolin roots, another characteristic i see is the upright erect body. much like what you see in karate, choi lei fut, hung gar, etc. which are all descended from shaolin

this is opposed to the hunched posture of YKS WC, which you will find in many soft styles.

i posted this because on another thread there was much discussion about this topic
