- Inner Taun Sao
- from hands high drop elbow forearm and wrist to centerline near parallel to the floor. Sharp recoil to exercise CBJ
- Goang sao
-
from hands high sweep centerline to lower edge of upper perimeter lazy ‘s’ position.
Sharp recoil to exercise CBJ - Sole kick
- from open bijong front foot directly to target high knee toes turned out sharply thrust sole of foot in and down toward knee 4-6 inch recoil quick recovery to exercise CBJ.
- Snapping toe kick
- from OBJ foot directly to target high knee foot/ankle relaxed toes snap to groin short sharp recoil quick recovery to exercise CBJ
- Upper perimeter
- your major targets are there therefore it is the most active perimeter for incoming techniques are designed to penetrate that perimeter. Therefore your hands should act primarily with in that area
- Middle perimeter
- contains your pivoting access for torque techniques and it contains your center of gravity which is responsible for loading in relationship to your feet and legs
- Lower Perimeter
- your primary power base all techniques used in Wing Chun Do are either generated from or supported by the lower perimeter
- Inner perimeter
- nothing can penetrate the inner perimeter your opponent shouldn’t be there no part of your hand should be there it is very difficult to control anything in the inner perimeter it limits your offensive versatility and your power you only have elbows, knees, and short hooks
- Outer perimeter
- your optimum working range for trapping, blocking or striking. You have 2 advantages, you have the bridge for trapping and you have potential to power load from the elbow
- Extended perimeter
- it is your best kicking range and it correlates with the danger zone, which is from the outer perimeter to the threat zone
- Kill Range
- It is your opponents extended leg plus 3 inches prior to engagement you want to keep your opponent at or just outside the kill range because he has to make some kind of gross or telegraphic movement to reach you. Keep the opponent at the kill range compensates for your lag time when you are setting up for motion you wish to get as close to kill range as possible as oppose to threat zone which can be longer if I can get inside his threat zone and approach the kill range my close will be less telegraphic and I will have a more successful launch capability
- Left and Right perimeter
- your left hand and leg should act in the left perimeter and your right should stay in the same area also not crossing over the centerline because it imbalances and weakens you and isolates out your core muscles from the equation so you become less efficient. (This is perimeter 8 & 9)
- Wing Chun Do Creed
-
I will strive to achieve my personal best to use my knowledge of the martial arts to help myself and my fellowman.
To never be abusive and only use my skills for self-defense.
To show proper respect and self-discipline at all times - Wing Chun Do History
- Bruce Lee and his training group modified Wing Chun for fighting. James Demile, street fighter, heavy weight boxer, trainer, law enforcement and Special Forces. And a key member of the inner circle organized Bruce’s fighting style into a teachable format
- Martial arts vs. Street Fighting
-
- Martial arts is Order

-
-Tournaments have Rules
-Self defense is a Reality - 3 Structural Rules of Wing Chun Do

1. Simplicity: Must be able to do naturally.
2. Efficiency: No wasted energy.
3. Practicality: Must work in real situations. (Under stress) - Bridge
-
Strongest position of the arm.
(Natural elbow lock)
1. Elbow points to the floor.
2. Almost fully extended. (85%-95%) - Natural Energy Flow: 3 Sources
-
1. Natural centerline energy.
2. Body angle- 0-15% (forward lean)
3. Energy tends to flow where the fingers point. -
Alive vs At Rest
Explain At Rest. - Can move only after opponent moves because you must set up
-
Alive vs At Rest
Explain Alive. - can move as or before opponent moves because it is loaded
- Powerline Principle
- Powerline principle is punching with the body’s natural power mechanics
- Centerline Punching
- Centerline punching violates natural body mechanics
-
Superior Position/Inferior Position
Explain Superior position - Superior position is any position in which your energy is above the opponent’s energy
-
Superior Position/Inferior Position
Explain Inferior position - Inferior position is underneath
- 2 Advantages of Superior Position
-
1. Leverage
2. Direct line of attack. - Startle Concept
- Access fast twitch muscle fibers in each body segment
-
Blocking vs. Clearing Perimeter
Explain Blocking - specific chasing, easily faked
-
Blocking vs. Clearing Perimeter

2. Arm Angle- Forearms slightly raised (up) and slightly in- form power lines.
3. Accuracy- Fingertips are pointed at the nose mouth area.
4. Rhythm and Timing- First chung choie is extended to maximum its expression and then the arm retracts back to elbow pocket before the second chung choie is initiated; this is to prevent the arms from obstructing each other - Wing Chun Do Symbol
