Many people think that Chu Shong Tin (CST) Wing Chun has a similar engine and application as that of Taiji, but actually this is not correct at all. We do not cultivate energy at the Dantien, rather we mobilize it from the tailbone upward through the spine to the top/back part of the brain which CST called the "Nim Tao area" of the brain. Also, we focus on gaining total control of every joint in the body so that we can produce a lot of power (seemingly effortlessly) while resisted at the joint. And of course the concept of triangulation (resulting in the centerline) is a fundamental aspect of Wing Chun, so with the use of NimTao we will be able to utlize our outgoing force in a conical sphere fashion while redirects and strike simultaneously - which CST highlights in this video as an "opposite" way of in Taiji.
In the video a student asks CST "didnt you practice Taiji before?" Apparently he didnt hear him clearly (as he was deaf in one ear) but as his students we all know his past whci is:
CST learned Taiji from one of the most famous Kung Fu Sifus in Guangzhou (in the 1940s), Grandmaster Fu (傅振嵩).
He very briefly mentioned that he trained with him very casually for a year (as he was forced by his father) when he was a teenager prior to coming to Hong Kong and starting Wing Chun. Years after he began WC and after he attained a level of what he called Nim Tao (mind force), he visited this Sifu who highly praised his ability after CST respectfully touched hands with him to demonstrate his internal Wing Chun ability. He then touched hands with some of the most senior students of Master Fu and demonstrated his ability by asking them to choose any movement from any of their forms as he stopped them and then performed the exact same movement on them (without using the front and back Taiji style of stance) and they couldn't stop him. It should be noted that he was only around 22yrs old at the time which was a few years before Ip Man coined him "King of Siu Nim Tao"...
Within the next 60years after this encounter, CST touched hands with many other Taiji and Kungfu masters and practitioners with same results. So when he mentioned that what he did (the internal engine) was different from Taiji, its fare to say that he had enough knowledge and experience of it to say so.
Now after his passing, some people have hinted that Nima King has also dabbled in Taiji and does similar stuff, but again this is not the case. Nima has never practiced Taiji and while he has great respect for good Taiji practitioners (as did CST), he is always made it very clear that this method of practice is fundamentally different from Taiji.
