Wing Chun Forms

Siu Nim Tau

Siu Nim Tau is the first Wing Chun form.

The form is performed in the basic position and contains only arm movements. The aim is to unify and relax the body, which is essential for the free movement of the joints and the training of the Mind Force. The form teaches us:

  • Stance - development of relaxed, relaxed and interconnected structure, concentration of force to the point of contact and development of Tai Gung.
  • Centerline - application of minimal movement for defense and attack.
  • Directness - the development of strength and speed.
  • Use of mechanical properties of human body structure - use of natural joint rotation to develop strength.
  • Mind Force - the use of mental force to direct, but do not force movement.

 

 

Chum Kiu

Chum Kiu is the second Wing Chun form and is also a method of contacting the opponent's limbs.

This form teaches the movement and control of the center of body mass in combination with the movements of the Siu Nim Tau to apply multi-vector force. Efficiency is directly dependent on the level of mastery of Siu Nim Tau. The form teaches us control and move from the center of the body. Each movement begins at this point, as the body center moves, each part of the body moves, providing the necessary force for each movement. The form teaches us:

  • Multi-Vector Force - The application of force and motion in more directions than one at the same time for defense and attack depends predominantly on the release of joints and the ability to control the center of body mass.
  • Physical and mental coordination - the mind is always focused on the target and not on the movements so that the force is coherent, while the body and limbs attack from different directions and positions.
  • Simultaneous attack and defense - minimize movement.

 

 

Biu Jee

Biu Jeeis the last form without weapons and gives the practitioner's movements considerable destructive power.

The effectiveness of the form depends on the level of mastery of movement from Siu Nim Tau, which teaches the structure of the body and Chum Kiu, which teaches the coordination of the movement of the body, all in combination with the power of the mind (Mind Force). The form teaches us:

  • Speed and power generated by body rotation.
  • Multi-vector power coming out of body rotation.
  • Transfer of body mass to any part of the body.

 

 

Mook Yan Jong

Mook Yan Jong, the wooden dummy form includes moves from Siu Nim Tau, Chum Kiu a Biu Gee.

The aim of training on wooden dummy is to practice theories and applications of movement from these sets and their improvement. The physical resistance of the wooden dummy approximates the learned movements of the first three sets of practical experience.

 

 

Bot Jaam Do

Bot Jaam Do, the butterfly knives form is a combination of the first three sets of movements.

Theory and application are the same, but what is different are the movements of the body, which aim to transfer body mass to the butterfly knives. Emphasis is placed on developing the strength of the wrist as it rotates.

 

 

Luk Dim Boon Kwan

Luk Dim Boon Kwan, the long pole form was not created by the Wing Chun system author.

It contains only a few techniques that logically aim to link, utilize, and extend physical mass to the weapon used. The power of thought and the basic principles of the first three sets of Wing Chun kung fu are also applied.
