About This Month's Video
The wooden dummy is one of the more prevalent tools associated with Wing Chun. The problem, however, is that when learned incorrectly, distances are misleading and can actually set you up for failure vs. success. This is because a practitioner either rushed their training before they were ready or does not understand what these distances are actually teaching them. Forms training will not relate this; instead, it requires competence in the full curriculum of Siu-Nim-Tau, Chum-Kiu, and Biu-Tze.
This month we take a look at punch, elbow and kicking distances, as well as how to determine if those distances are correct. While this month's video is focused on the dummy form itself, the principles can be applied to any action at any level when working it on the wooden dummy.
