January 2015 WingTsun notes - From blank to a dot

I happen to be cleaning up my OneNote notebooks, having not used them in 3 years.

I found this entry from January 11, 2015 at 11:54PM.

Journey in Wing Tsun

Imagine a WT student, learning SNT for the first time.
Mechanics in the head, blank essentially.

As one learns more and more, schematics come out, different option.

More experience, multitude of options and ideas in stick figures, come out.

Mastery, involves simplicity again, and unified answer.

It looks as though in 2015, I was writing about an idea representing the journey in Wing Tsun that could be displayed as a video.

Question:  What would I change about this note now?

In the second stage, as one learns more and more, schematics do come out of the head, but the student is more so in the "collecting" phase.  There are still issues with collecting techniques, but this may still be needed without a full understanding and appreciation.

In the next stage with more experience, although there are multitude of options, they aren't due to collecting more techniques, but rather more so in the "amalgamation" and "synchronization" phase.

In terms of the last stage, I still believe that Mastery = Simplicity = Unified.  And in the video, the WT student's head is no longer completely blank, but imagine a white background with a dot, right in the centre.

But what is that dot, and where is the centre?

Until next time...

Happy Training!
