A good question was asked by one of my students... its feels a but funny trying to fight from this position, surely we would not fight like this on the street.. and he was right..
In Wing Chun something that is very misunderstood is that the forms teach you how to position your body correctly and to correctly place the hands and feet, the forms over a long period of time make your body stronger, this is done by performing section one of the Siu Lim Tau from anything like 15 minutes upwards while, the other forms when preformed help you with other characteristics or the art, make no mistake what you learn in the forms does not mean you have to fight like that, the physical abilities developed in the forms shine through when its time to fight, your body knows what to do. As a rule of thumb if anything feels uncomfortable or awkward or even if you are off balance then may be your just doing it wrong and need to seek guidance.
