Wing Chun Kung Fu’s Mook Yan Jong Form / Wooden Dummy Form & Training Review with Commentary.

Newsfeed

Every style of Wing Chun Kung Fu features a Wooden Dummy training routine. This method has been passed down from the original Shaolin Kung Fu methods, modified to meet the use of the Wing Chun method. The way of Wing Chun is all about simple, clear and very refined angles of attack and defense, as well as the most efficient entry method and deflection skills.

In this video, we explore a variety of Dummy forms, many of which are supposed to have derived from grand master Yip Man. We also explore some lineages that are from main land China, Macao, and Vietnam. The way the ancestors worked on this device are only known from the examples of these modern era practitioners. Since the invention of video, and now the proliferation of online video source libraries, the ability to compare each masters work side by side has never been easier.

For those that study wing Chun and enjoy the empty hand training, or the traditional Chinese weaponry training, the wooden dummy is probably the most noticeable feature of the style. Famous and well accomplished UFC fighters Anderson Silva, Tony Ferguson, and others have recommended the use of this training device to both toughen their arms, improve their angulation skills, and have a dedicated training partner at home. Way better than a heavy bag for hardening your arms and legs, as well as for improving your skills at referencing against an opponents arms or legs.
