Lat Sau Jik Chung - translates as "when the hands disengage, go straight forward" is a major concept in Wing Chun. This concept is an extension of the centerline principle, it is actually one of the most important and yet neglect ideas in Wing Chun. In the Old days, when a Wing Chun practitioner attacks and crashes into the opponents' arms, his attacks, covers, or blocks, there will be arm...

Chum Kil Uppercut

The Uppercut is found at the end of the second section in the Chum Kil form. Most of the time, people explain this motion in the form of an uppercut short punch.

Hello everyone,

In this article, I would like to discuss Chum Kil's introduction to the forearm filing/pushing motion in the second Wing Chun form. This motion is often misunderstood as a direct block but actually, when it is used defensively, the motion is actually a cutting motion. If used correctly as a cutting motion, it allows one to handle superior...

Dan Chi Sau

Dan Chi Sau translates to "Single Hand Sticking". This is a basic drill every student has to learn before they progress to the double arm stick exercise, the "famous Chi Sau" of Wing Chun. Dan Chi Sau is very traditional and is often ignored in today's Modern Wing Chun Instructions.
