Wing Chun Chuan - three forms |
|||
(1) Siu Nim Tau (small imagination) |
|||
This is the first form of training and the basic blocking is used to offset an adversary and never having to move one step. Later developed for practice in Chi Sau (sticking hands). Each section of Wing Chun training should start with this practice before any advanced techniques. Features include breathing, arm movement, concentration, coordination, and balance of stance. |
|||
(2) Chum Kiu (Searching the opponent's bridge) |
|||
This form practices front step, side step and backward step in order to avoid direct confrontation from an opponent's attack. It also combines some forms of Siu Nim Tau to develop into a coordination of arms and legs. |
|||
(3) Biu jee (Flying Fingers) |
