MASTERING
WING CHUN KUNG FU
By Samuel Kwok & Tony Massengill
In this book, the keys to the Ip Man Wing Chun Kung Fu system
are explained. The three hand sets are shown in detail, along
with the application of the key movements. One of the keys to
Wing Chun is laying a proper foundation. The first form Siu
Lim Tao (Little Idea) is the development of that foundation.
Here, you will be introduced to the proper reference points
for the structure of the defensive tools and offensive weapons
of Wing Chun. The second form, Chum Kiu (Seeking the Bridge),
introduces the keys to fighting application of Wing Chun. While
the first form teaches the correct structure of the attacks
and defensive movements, it is in Chum Kiu that the student
learns to “seek the bridge” and use both hands simultaneously,
such as one hand defending while the other attacks. Chum Kiu
teaches stepping and footwork, and also Wing Chun’s specialized
kicking method and the generation of power thru the correct
method of using the entire body in stance turning (Yiu Ma).
The third form, Biu Gee (Thrusting Fingers), also known as the
(First Aid) form, teaches the keys to recovery from the loss
of a superior position in fighting. Biu Gee training is one
of the keys to learning to focus energy into a strike. This
form also develops devastating striking power by combining focused
strikes with the rotational energy developed by correct stance
turning (Yiu Ma), as learned in the previous training of the
Chum Kiu form. Also covered is the Chi Sao (Sticking Hands)
training of Wing Chun, as well as the key principles that have
made Ip Man Wing Chun one of the most famous Kung Fu systems
in the world.
