      Lan gwun, the obstructing pole.

      As Yip Man preferred to teach the practical, rather than have students memorize numerous keywords, he taught the essentials of his system through various basic partner exercises.

      Pak sao (slapping hand) is the main defense against a fast strike. Pak sao is used to check the opponent’s incoming blow and as a basis for follow-up to “capture the timing” of the opponents movement and to initiate a counter-attack. Two partners train the exercise in yee jee kim yeung ma, with one partner doing lien wan chui (chain punches) and the other defending with pak sao. The eyes must follow the incoming blows, and particular attention must be paid to the torso and stance. With this exercise, a practitioner develops timing, hand and eye coordination, balance, and forward power with the pak sao and chung chui (thrusting punch).

      Lop da (grab and strike) is important in teaching the student the use of the bong sao as a detaining technique, and the use of a grab and strike as a follow up. It is practiced with two partners in yee jee kim yeung ma, with one partner beginning the cycle with a chung chui and the other receiving with a bong sao. The bong sao is then followed with a lop sao chung chui combination which the first partner receives with a bong sao. The cycle is then continued numerous times and one may switch sides. There are many variations of bong sao lop da. A practitioner may vary the exercise with a push with bong sao, a step back and pull with lop sao, or changes with the attacking “weapon.” With this exercise, one develops the “jerking power” to knock an opponent off balance, timing, coordination, the feeling of sticking to an opponent, how to follow up when an opening is made, and the hands to assist and follow each other.

      Jaam dao, slashing knives.

      Biu dao, darting knife.

      Dan chi sao (single sticking hands) is a basic exercise which teaches the changes of tan sao, bong sao, and fook sao. This exercise can be varied with the positions of running up and down the bridge of the opponent. Dan chi sao makes defenses strong; develops proper positioning of tan sao, bong sao, and fook sao; develops timing while sticking; develops stance and structure; and develops proper elementary defense for chi sao.

      Luk sao (rolling hands) is a maneuver designed to develop a student’s sensitivity. Luk sao is the backbone of chi sao. Students learn to maintain the structure and stance during the luk sao exercise and vary the pressure (i.e., light vs. heavy), and the “running” of the hands. Mastery of running of the hands is important in learning how to cross the bridges. Luk sao develops the four major gate positions, which allow partners to create a bridge and the feeling of intention in the bridges. One develops proper coordination between tan sao, bong sao, fook sao, and the clean flow of techniques.

      Seung chi sao (double sticking hands) is a drill in which the elements of Wing Chun are taught in a living laboratory or clinic. Through luk sao, students can learn to apply the movements taught in the three empty-hand sets and the wooden man set. It is known that when Yip Man taught chi sao, his students would always be gently falling backwards or forwards and unable to control their center of gravity. Yip Man would constantly have the students up on their heels or on the balls of СКАЧАТЬ
