Wooden Dummy

Wooden Dummy ( lit. Wooden Stake Man ) is a unique Wing Chun Training apparatus. The Wooden Dummy form is tidy and organized. Coherent practice of the dummy methods not only exercises the hardness of the bridge hands, the agility of our hand techniques, and our penetrating power, but also simultaneously trains the interchanging of our stature and footwork and our angle and position during advance or retreat. We will view the wooden dummy as an imaginary opponent, use all the Wing Chun techniques and methods we have learned and to express and develop them on the wooden dummy, which is called "No teacher or opponent, seek the stake as facing a mirror."

Biu Tze

Biu Tze (lit. Darting Fingers ) is Wing Chun final and highest level of the open hand forms. Wing Chun Biu Tze hand techniques are long bridge methods. Attack and rescue/recovery hand techniques are mostly adopted. Motions are long coupled with short ones, attacking from below to above, simultaneous attack and defense, the way of the soft overcoming the hard. It the head is held the tail will rise. if the tail is held the head will rise. Attack strength is like bamboo and like rattan, penetrating piercing power at the contact point. As the opponent draws near we must prepare to attack, with our hands we protect our form. The front hand is capable of varied changes. Our fist does not go out emptily, and our hand does not return emptily.

Actual Combat in Traditional Yong Chun Quan: Palm Technique Training

Chum Kiu ( lit. Bridge Seeking ) teaches us to pursue and intercept the enemy. Chum Kiu requires us to have a very clear and real understanding of our horse stance and its usage and our three points of alignment. During a real fight we cannot blindly charge in and attack, and solely focusing on attack but neglecting defend is also unacceptable. During a fight situating, the distance between the two sides will always be in motion and always changing.

Actual Combat in Traditional Yong Chun Quan: Training of Shoulder-Hand, Foot, Elbow and Knee Techniques

Siu Nim Tau (lit, Little Idea) is the basic essence of Wing Chun. It is to enable students to understand and recognize centerline and distance, power generation concepts and structure of the whole body. It teaches us the concept of Chiu Ying always facing our opponent. When using Wing Chun we aim to hit with the simplest and most direct attack and defense, and how to deal with offence and defense from our six planes. Beginning with the first section, opening step, opening horse, are Wing Chun strict requirements on body structure.
