In the YM VT I train, we keep the wu sau on-center and a good distance in front of the chest. When an attack comes in, we meet it by going forward on centerline, with the intent to hit, not to block, using the wedging principle to simultaneously deflect the incoming attack. We only resort to tan, pack or bong if the punch obstructs our counterattack and we have no alternative. Keeping the wu-sau to one side may be helpful, but as you never know exactly how your opponent's punch will come in ...what angle, on center or slightly off-center, etc. we do not see keeping the wu of-center as a solution.
Good teaching clip

Are you all this uptight offline?
I assure you I'm not going to get angry on a web forum when someone doesn't understand what I'm saying.
I will just attempt to clarify things further.It just struck me as odd how unobservant Juany has been in this thread when I remembered his profession. I actually respect his service, as I've told him in private months ago.
You all just need to lighten up. Nothing is so serious on here you need to get all whiny about it. M'kay?
You are wedging with your man-sau though, aren't you? Not your wu-sau. What does your wu-sau have to do with it?
That's precisely why not to keep it on center. Keeping it on center reduces the area of space you can cover. To deal with anything past your wu-sau will require you to move out to cover that space.
If you lose your man-sau, and don't have time or room to move, your only option may then be to paak or in some other way chase the hand to block it as a last resort. You can't just attack.
If you cover more area you won't have to worry as much about something being on or slightly off center.

If all you're gonna do is post to cry about something, better if you'd just stay quiet and pick up the crumbs you came for.
More examples of what I've been talking about! Keep it up! You're on a roll!

This is my last comment on the matter.
I made observations of a video nothing more or less. I then posted videos of "the man" in that lineage to illustrate my point. Nothing more nothing less. I never contradicted or disagreed with anything you said about the method or theory of the art, only what I saw on single video and again I provided a point of comparison.
Videos speak for themselves. You can't lie or make stuff up about what you see there, all you can do is interpret. If people interpret videos in a different way then that is a point of discussion because there must be reasons. Often these reasons are found in the context that was not captured by the video but in the conversations that occur pre and post "roll camera."
However no discussion occurred. A reflexive defense and "you are wrong" occurred followed by ad hominem attacks. Not regarding the art itself but regarding a single video which makes it all the more perplexing.
And misinterpret.
Like misinterpretation.
That's why they were explained to you by people who understand the system.
Interesting. So, I didn't actually provide pages of detailed, technical explanation for you?
Perplexing.
Your analysis was both non specific (no times given) and changed as replies were given, making it look more like you had some kind of bias than simple discussion of what you saw. You also persisted with making the same accusations after explanations were supplied. Overall looked like you weren't really interested in the clips, more keen to make some kind of point.
