I train in a non-Yip Man lineage, so I think our concept of four-gates is a bit diferent than the Yip Man side of things. From what I've seen (and I haven't seen much of this, it's considered quite advanced) four gates hitting means simultaneously trapping the high line, and messing up the other guys stance with your own (very silat-like).
I'd be interested to hear what kind of Wing Chun stuff you've pulled off on the ground. I'm always looking for surprises for the people I roll with.
