The 4 Seeds of Wing Chun

Описание: Overall, there are 4 families of techniques which serves as key components of Wing Chun's defensive strategy. Wing Chun has 108 hand-techniques which can be categorized in these 4 families af techniques:

Tan Sau (dispersing/splitting) 
Wu Sau (covering/guarding)
Fook Sau (subduing/ controlling) 
Bong Sau (winging hand/arm)

The interpretation of each technique may vary, but the core principles remain consistent across most 

Wing Chun lineages.

E.G. Sifu Wan focuses on the second hand so his techniques looks different, but follow the same principles 

I don’t see techniques as right and wrong, but more or less ideal, depending on the context.

The quality of a technique should be measured, by how well it serves its purpose, aligned with Wing Chun principles like economy of motion and energy, and positions of advantage.

Each technique is not a hand position (There is no stop in between techniques), but a hand movement, with a specific force application, usually in unison with the body and footwork.

In application you usually combine 3 power sources:

Gravitational force (weight) or ground force (legs)
Rotational force (waist/hip)
Spiral force (arm/hand)

Some interpretations emphasize that Wu, Tan and Fook as simultaneousattack and defense techniques, but they can also be applied together with the 3 other defensive techniques,

to create openings and opportunities for counterattacks. 

These 4 techniques are versatile defensive tools that can transition seamlessly into any defensive or offensive technique.

Actually, each technique can be used proactively and reactively, and as both attack and defense. That includes a strike that simultaneously works as a defense or defenses simultaneously striking with the other hand.
