Seven is an arbitrary number to show most common extreme hand/arm reactions of the average person.These reactions are normally triggered even in professionals, but only if the initial attack is strong and aggressive and very close in. The demos are actually shown mostly at a much longer distance than WT tries to use, since it makes it more easy to see clearly what is taking place.
Each of these reactions by our training partner or opponent tell us which way to go and what to do, so that we are not clashing with them. Rather we are attempting to agree and move with their response.
There are unlimited entry patterns in reality. Often called the 'bridges of wing chun' and numbering up to the hundreds or even more, they usualy are variations of a few common patterns.
How much 'force' one uses, and/or how much 'slickness'(mobility,positioning,timing, angles, etc) one uses is simply a reflection of personal skill and style.
