Foreword
This book completes the explanations of the weaponless forms of Wing Chun. We’ve recently thought about publishing the books Siu Lim Tao, Chum Kiu, and Biu Tze in a compilation sometime in the future, adding more instructional images to the book in order to answer the questions we’ve been receiving.
Furthermore, we are currently preparing a book depicting the Muk Yan Jong (wooden dummy) form. In a few years we hope to complete the book series with depictions of the weapon forms (long pole and butterfly swords).
After conversations with readers and students who have read the previous books, it has become clearer and clearer that instruction (i.e. didactics – theory and practice of teaching and learning) via books can never replace actual training. Sifu Lo Man Kam repeatedly says that there is a clear difference between students whom he teaches to instruct and those who simply want to learn the system without having to pass it on. Sifu Lo Man Kam is of the opinion that a teacher, along with simply giving instruction, conducting exercises, and following the lesson plan, has to be able to see and correct any and all mistakes of the students. Knowing the exercises that help students overcome their difficulties is a vital part of this.
We hope that this book gives students something to help them in training. We hope all our readers will have a lot of fun while reading this and of course while training in Wing Chun.
Wing Chun Training Structure and Ways for Trainees to Develop
The foundation of the entire Wing Chun kung fu system is form training. For this, the students learn the three weaponless forms in this order: Siu Lim Tao, Chum Kiu, and Biu Tze. Along with these, they can train individual sequences on the wooden dummy, especially those that give the student a sense of the proper distance, pressure, and angles to use against the opponent. Advanced students later learn the forms for the long pole and butterfly knives.
Along with practicing the forms, students start using the movements in partner exercises, trying them out in various situations until they find what works. The instructor chooses exercises that suit the ability level of the students. In doing this, the most important thing is to ensure the students develop a sense of the appropriate distances, angles, and proportionate force to use before they are allowed to practice the techniques in ‘real’, i.e. harder, attacks.
Every Wing Chun student should begin training their sensitivity while they learn Siu Lim Tao. That means they should start by learning dan chi (one-armed chi sao). To make this more efficient, the teacher should pair absolute beginners with more experienced students who already know the techniques and not let newcomers train together. This makes learning the techniques much easier for beginners, allowing them to get a lot more out of the training. The more experienced students (Sihings, i.e. ‘elder brothers’) can share their know-how with the newcomers and correct any mistakes they make.

After learning dan chi, the students start another exercise to build sensitivity called ‘rolling the arms’ (pon sao). This preparatory exercise lays the foundation for future chi sao training. Here in Lo Man Kam style Wing Chun, we make sure inexperienced students first train with more experienced ones, or with an instructor, who can show them basic reactions to movements via ‘guided chi sao’. After pon sao training, an advanced student or instructor can thereby lead the newcomer into various situations that arise in chi sao where specific counter techniques have to occur. For this, a teaching system is available once the trainer has already taught the most important countering techniques to the students, which must be used before allowing the students to practice freeform chi sao. This teaching system should prepare the students to defend themselves against almost any attack with techniques that they have already learned.
During training, at the latest when beginning the Chum Kiu Form, the instructor should teach the students footwork techniques, lop sao exercises, turns, kicks, and strategies for attacking and defending. After a while, each student can hone preferred techniques and strategies and use them to defend against attacks with a combination of movements they’ve learned, and at the same time move into a position that enables a counterattack.

This means that the students should only choose techniques that they’ve mastered the best when they find themselves in an actual fight. This should give them the best chance of controlling the outcome of the conflict. Therefore, they will train against attack scenarios again and again in order to allow them to become as efficient as possible in case they ever encounter serious violence. When watching advanced Wing Chun students train, you might therefore notice that different techniques can be used against the same attack, resulting in different countering techniques or finishing moves. Nonetheless, all students use movement combinations that stem from Wing Chun. This shows that only targeted, one-on-one support will prepare students to act and react innovatively in a fight.
Supporting this individuality is one of the most important tasks a trainer has. He or she should prioritize developing the strengths of each student and showing them how they can most effectively use the techniques they’ve learned. Their unique strengths should be promoted in order to teach each one special strategies and training methods. The training plan and choice of techniques can completely depend on how big each trainee is. Larger students need to learn different techniques and use different training methods than smaller ones do. The Wing Chun system allows the trainees to take advantage of their unique movement strengths without mandating strict defensive movements against specific attacks.
This is where I see the distinct advantage of our system. Wing Chun is designed to allow everyone to develop their own Wing Chun. This means that trainers have an even more difficult task to master; they have to be able to demonstrate a variety of defensive techniques, even the ones that aren’t their favorites.
