Wing Chun Course

Lesson 1 • The Yee Gee Kim Yeung Ma Stance

Teaches the foundational horse stance: foot angle, knee direction, and weight distribution. This stance is the launching point for all Wing Chun forms and techniques.

Lesson 2 • Posture, Alignment, and Relaxation

Develops correct skeletal alignment, muscular relaxation, and rooted stance. Proper posture is the physical prerequisite for generating efficient Wing Chun power.

Lesson 3 • Safety, Etiquette, and Training Culture

Covers training hall etiquette, partner safety protocols, and the mindset of respectful practice. Establishes the professional conduct expected throughout the course.

Lesson 4 • Core Principles and Concepts

Introduces centerline theory, economy of motion, and simultaneous attack-defense. These principles govern every technique taught throughout the course.

Lesson 1 • Introduction to Siu Nim Tao

Explains the form's purpose as a moving meditation and structural drill. Students understand how each section of the form trains a distinct mechanical principle.

Lesson 2 • Full Form Integration and Review

Combines all three sections into continuous, flowing performance. Students self-assess using a structured checklist of alignment, timing, and intent markers.

Lesson 3 • Section Two: Gong Lik Training

Focuses on the slow, isometric power-development movements of the form's second section. Students build internal arm strength and elbow-to-centerline awareness.

Lesson 4 • Section Three: Punching and Thrusting

Introduces the vertical-fist punch, palm strike, and finger thrust along the centerline. Connects striking mechanics to the structural principles established in sections one and two.

Lesson 1 • Bong Sao and Lap Sao Combinations

Teaches the wing arm deflection paired with the pulling hand in dynamic turning sequences. These combinations form the core of Wing Chun's close-range trapping arsenal.

Lesson 2 • Principles of Chum Kiu

Explains how the second form adds movement, turning, and kicking to the static skills of Siu Nim Tao. Students understand the concept of seeking and bridging to the opponent.

Lesson 3 • Kicks in Chum Kiu

Covers the front kick, side kick, and low sweeping kick as taught in the second form. Kicks are integrated with hand techniques to prevent single-limb telegraphing.

Lesson 4 • Pivoting and Stance Transitions

Drills the heel-pivot turn and weight-shift mechanics used throughout Chum Kiu. Correct pivoting allows simultaneous defense and counterattack without losing structural integrity.

Lesson 1 • Sensitivity Drills and Exercises

Presents targeted drills for developing forward energy, yielding, and redirection within the Chi Sao framework. Each drill isolates a single sensitivity attribute for focused improvement.

Lesson 2 • Dan Chi Sao: Single-Arm Rolling

Drills the single-arm Tan-Fook rolling cycle to build basic contact sensitivity and correct elbow position. Partners alternate roles to develop both yielding and pressing responses.

Lesson 3 • Applying Techniques in Chi Sao

Teaches students to insert strikes, traps, and takedowns during live rolling without breaking sensitivity. Controlled pressure escalation prepares students for free Chi Sao.

Lesson 4 • Introduction to Chi Sao

Explains the purpose of Chi Sao as a sensitivity drill rather than a sparring exercise. Students understand how contact-reflex training bridges forms practice and live application.

Lesson 1 • Power Generation Mechanics

Explains how ground force, hip rotation, and relaxed acceleration combine to produce Wing Chun power. Students practice on the wall bag to develop structural hitting ability.

Lesson 2 • Elbow Strikes

Covers horizontal, vertical, and rear elbow strikes for close-range combat. Elbow mechanics are linked to the body rotation principles introduced in Chum Kiu.

Lesson 3 • The Wing Chun Punch

Refines the vertical-fist punch for maximum speed and structural power along the centerline. Students drill single punches, chain punches, and angled punches on focus mitts.

Lesson 4 • Palm Strikes and Finger Attacks

Develops the palm heel strike, slapping palm, and finger thrust for soft-tissue targeting. These tools complement the punch by attacking different anatomical targets.

Lesson 1 • Defending Against Common Attacks

Applies Wing Chun defenses against straight punches, hooks, and grabs from a cooperative partner. Students learn to identify attack lines and select the appropriate defensive tool.

Lesson 2 • Defensive Hand Positions

Reviews and deepens Tan Sao, Bong Sao, Pak Sao, and Gan Sao as defensive structures. Each position is analyzed for its optimal angle, elbow placement, and coverage zone.

Lesson 3 • Trapping and Controlling Limbs

Introduces Lop Sao, Jut Sao, and double-hand traps to immobilize an opponent's arms. Trapping creates momentary openings for follow-up strikes along the centerline.

Lesson 4 • Simultaneous Block and Strike

Drills the core Wing Chun principle of defending and attacking in the same motion. Students practice Pak Sao-punch, Tan Sao-punch, and Bong Sao-punch entries.

Lesson 1 • Introduction to the Wooden Dummy

Explains the dummy's anatomy, training purpose, and how its sections map to human anatomy. Students learn safe striking contact and proper distance from the dummy.

Lesson 2 • Sections One Through Three of the Form

Teaches the opening sequences involving Bong Sao, Tan Sao, and low Gan Sao against the dummy arms. Students develop accuracy in striking the correct dummy surfaces.

Lesson 3 • Sections Seven Through Eight of the Form

Completes the form with advanced trapping, low-line attacks, and the closing sequence. Students perform the full form continuously to build endurance and flow.

Lesson 4 • Extracting Applications from the Dummy

Translates dummy form movements into partner-applied self-defense scenarios. Students identify the human target for each dummy technique and drill it with a cooperative partner.

Lesson 1 • Tactical Strategy in Sparring

Teaches entry strategies, pressure management, and how to exploit an opponent's defensive gaps. Students develop a personal game plan based on their physical attributes and strengths.

Lesson 2 • Free Chi Sao Principles

Transitions students from structured rolling to free-form Chi Sao with no predetermined sequences. Students learn to flow between positions based on tactile feedback rather than memorized patterns.

Lesson 3 • Attribute Development for Sparring

Builds timing, distance management, and explosive entry speed through targeted attribute drills. These attributes bridge the gap between controlled Chi Sao and live sparring.

Lesson 4 • Performance Review and Goal Setting

Uses video review and instructor feedback to identify technical gaps and set measurable improvement goals. Students create a structured personal development plan for continued training.
