Snake Crane Wing Chun Sil Lim Tau stance

All 3 forms set Sil Lim Tau stance is Yee Gee Kim Yeung Ma. Why we play the form with... this stance only, because it is for close contact combat only. We don't need any big move during combating.

For close contact combat, stability is the key issue. Without stability, offense and defense cannot be done perfectly. In offense, we need power generation. Most arts they generate power by making use of the body and more space is required. However, close contact cannot because of limited spacing.
Most internal arts including SCWC, they will use the soft body stance to let the body weight sinking into the ground to build up stability Then power can be easily borrowed from the ground, and lead the incoming force brought to the ground easily. That's why SCWC stance is soft.

Once with the correct posture of yjkym, then internal qi flows smoothly. As qi flowing smoothly, jin power can be easily generated on offense and incoming force can be easily brought to the ground on defense. Then we can apply to the techniques to deal with opponent. SCWC Lim Tau Song is totally describing this senerio, and also lead the SCWC slt form playing.
