Particularly achieving a "solid structure" is contradictory to Yip Man's statement that the WC practitioner aims to "receive" the opponent's strike so that the opponent feels as if he is bending bamboo, which is very easy to bend. "You are connected to the ground, and able to transfer that connecting power into a more solid structure to accept incoming forces, as well as reciprocating" This is exactly what I'm saying is contradictory with what is said in the source material. In contrast, Yip Man recommends "receiving" the opponent's strike and particularly positioning one's elbows instead of pushing away the opponent. That would contradict the idea of yielding like "bamboo" and avoiding "pushing" the opponent.
The above shows that in anyway using the strength of a "rooted" stance to stably push against an opponent is incorrect. “Sending away” refers simply to sending one’s move forward “going straight ahead” refers to, well, moving ahead, and “keeping it in” simply means receiving and elbowing onto the opponent’s punch, instead of pushing away that attack with sheer force. He then points out that the use of Tan Sao, Fuk Sao, Bong Sao is not about pushing a move to the side or moving one’s arms back and forth between the right and the left. "Master Yip then mentioned the slogan used in Wing Chun – “keeping in the incoming strike, sending away the strike-back drop it all and go straight ahead“.
When that strike retreats, however, one immediately strikes back at top speed, much like a bamboo stick will bounce back after with great force." ".what makes Wing Chun indicative of a bamboo stick is that when the opponent strikes close, if one uses Tan Sao, Fuk Sao or Bong Sao to receive the attack, that actual strike will be as if hitting on a bamboo stick – one’s defence will, at that moment of attack, becomes pushed back as a result of the force, just like bamboo. However, I believe this source is a good counterexample to that. It has become popular among some schools to suggest that Wing Chun encourages a fixed structure or rooting in its stance.
