Aside: that book was Mao Zedong's childhood favourite and adulthood manual. Both version, 70 or 120 chapters, are good.
Wing Chun somehow came from Shaolin.
Differences, as far as I can see:
- Shaolin was invented when China was "the center of the Universe."
- It is full of ornate, impractical forms like, tiger forms, monkey forms, snake forms, crane forms, drunkard forms, etc.
- Wing Chun was invented when China was under the Manchus.
- It is frugal, even miserly.
What Startups can learn form Wing Chun
Twist, turn, spin, wiggle, rotate, shuffle, crawl ...
Twist the wrists, the fingers, the waist, the ankle, the knee ...
Rotate the wrists, the elbows, the fingers, the waist, the ankle, ...
To generate force, do whatever
To avoid force, do whatever
To hide your own move, do whatever
To gain time/space on the opponent, do whatever
To gain leverage on the opponent, do whatever
To surprise the opponent, do whatever
It is total humility, total innocence, totally instinctive actions.
