First one is Bai Zhong, which means just placing the dummy, or in the dummy form, we're just the beginning position.
So we have... both hands up around your nose level your fingertips should be a nose level and then your hands are in your center line one hand is between the other hand so usually you start with your left hand in front so from the side you can see that my elbow is bent my elbows are low and also my elbows are low on my right arm as well so that's bai zhong next one is tan sau so Tan Sao literally means laying flat hand. So you want to create a flat surface with your palm.
Your fingers are slightly bent and your elbow is low. And you have about a fist distance between your elbow and your body. With your left hand is the same. Tan Sao like this. On the dummy, you see it used.
Like this up here on the dummy or like this on the dummy. Pak Sao. Pak Sao means slapping hand. So in the form, in Wing Chun we have this, or we have it out here, or we have it here.
It's Pak Sao. In the wooden dummy form, we have Pak Sao where we slap the inside of the dummy. So we can go both ways. Paxil, or we have a Paxil on the outside of the dummy.
Or on the left side, it would be Paxil on the left side of the dummy. So that's called slapping hand. Bong Sao, also known as the winged arm, is like this. Your wrist is at your center line.
Your fingers are pointing forward. Your hand is flipped over backwards. Your elbow is higher than your wrist. That's Bong Sao. On the dummy, you see it used like this.
Often with the Wu Sao, or with one hand, Bong Sao, like this. Or it can be a Low Bong Sao, like this. With your left hand, same thing. Bong Sao high like this. Or it can be a Low Bong Sao.
Next one is called Lap Sao, which means pulling hand or seizing hand. So in the wind and dummy form, You can see it when we do from bong sau turn into a lap sau. So I'm seizing and grabbing the dummy. So it comes from a bong sau into a lap sau. So seizing and grabbing the dummy arm.
So it's basically this motion. I am grabbing the dummy arm. So the lap sau flows together with the fa sau.
And we can see that in the form as well. Do the lap sau and the fa sau. And then we step here, do the lap sau, fa sau. So it's the grabbing and then the cha. the grab and the chop.
This side is the grab, the chop. Grab, chop, grab, chop. So that's the lap sau and then that's the fok sau. In the regular form, we do fok sau all the way up here. And in the cheong kyu form, we do a double fok sau like this.
Basically, it's like a chop. The next one is called Kao Sao. It's also called Huon Sao. So it's a circular motion with your hand. Very small motion.
And in the Buji form, we do a little bit of this. Kao Sao movements. On the Dummy form, we do it here. We do the Kao Sao. Up here, or khao sau here.
Like that. So I am going around and then controlling this arm on the inside. So it's a circular motion. One hand with this hand like this.
And on a dummy, it's often combined with other techniques. For example, it's usually a khao sau with the right and the low palm, or a khao sau with the left and a high palm. Khao sau with the right and the low left palm, or khao sau with the left with the high jing zhang.
Zat Sao or yanking hands. So in the form we have the Zat Sao which is the short movement downwards. In the dummy form we have the Zat Sao where we have a small movement downwards with the hand. is combined with another strike. So this jet sao here is a short sinking and yanking movement.
It's combined with a strike at the same time. So it can be either a jet sao and a blow punch or sometimes it's jet sao. in the high palm like that. That sounds like quick gripping or quick yanking motion downwards.
There's a form called biu ji which means thrusting fingers. You can also call it thrusting hand. So in the dummy form there's this one part where we do these small movements with the biu sa.
So it's kind of like a snake movement with your hand. You can do it with both hands. So this is the Bu Sao in the wooden dummy form.
Tak Sao, or lifting hand, is simply just lifting. the hand and some people say this is not actually a Wing Chun technique. It's just something to reset the arms when you're in the middle of the Wing Chun dummy and the arms get out of position. Either way, it's in the form. So we have a double talk cell or a single talk cell by using the hand.
Now what you can do is actually it doesn't your fingers doesn't your hands don't have to be this way. It can be lifting up this way or lifting up. So anything that lifts up somebody's arms or lift up somebody's limbs is called a talk cell. Next one is a high So we have the low gan sao and the high gan sao.
High gan sao is also called a zham sao, which means to chop with a knife. So in the form, we see the high gan sao like this. We are chopping into the dummy. So the low gan sao is when we are doing a chop on the outside of the dummy with your arm. So the high gan sao is on the outside, and then low gan sao is also on the outside.
So... High gun cell is on the outside and low gun cell is on the outside as well. So the low gun cell, just so you can see, is like this. So usually from center line we can go down here.
up to here so it has a silhouette of your body your arm should protect against any attacks from this side using this as a shield okay so don't go too far all you need to do is just go this far comes out gum gum salt means to press down so it's literally pressing down like this and then with the dummy we have to come out like this near the end And this is to stop lower attacks. So if somebody is doing a kick, you can do a gamsao. Or if somebody does a low attack, you can do gamsao to press down. Or you can just simply use this to press something down.
Jikkun just means straight punch. And in the wind dummy form, we see that here when we do a jatsao and a jikkun. Or jatsao and a jikkun here. So it's just a straight punch towards the solar plexus of the person.
So it's combined with the jatsao. and a straight punch here. Next we'll talk about the three types of palms.
It's the jing zheng which means the straight palm. There's the chang zheng which is the diagonal palm and then the tai zheng which means the low palm. So in the form you see this happening we have the We also have the Kao Sao and the straight palm here. And then somewhere in the middle of the form, we see this opening up and then attacking with the Chang Zheng here as well.
Now let's go into the Daoist style. So the Daoist style is the one that we're going to be talking about today. double handed techniques. So the very popular one is the bong sau wu sau. You have a wu sau which is a protecting hand and a bong sau which is your wing arm like this.
The other side will look like this. So on the bun dummy it will be like this. You have your wu sau here and your bong sau here.
So that's the bong sau and wu sau. And typically you have your wrist at the middle of the of your center line. So even though you're facing this way, your center line is now here. So it's here. And then this here is on your center line.
Kun Sao is like this. So it is actually a Tan Sao and a Lo Bang Sao at the same time. So on the dummy, we have a High Tan Sao and a Lo Bang Sao. That's your Kun Sao. So make sure that your body is 45 degrees and then your body is squared towards that this line.
So for Kun Sao, You're pivoting 45 degrees and then now you're putting your hands out in front of you. So you don't actually want to put them this way. They're actually 45 degrees.
So you draw a triangle in front of you. They actually end up here because on the dummy, if you draw a triangle in front of you, then they end up here on the dummy arms. On the other side, similar thing, you have to draw a triangle in front of you and they'll end up on the dummy arms like this.
What it is, is you are having a Tan Sao and a Lo Bong Sao. Next is the Double Gan Sao. So you have a High Gan Sao and a Low Gan Sao. High Gan Sao, Low Gan Sao. So on the dummy form, like this, you have the High Gan Sao here and Low Gan Sao here.
On this side will be High Gan Sao here, Low Gan Sao here. So you're doing a chop like that. We already showed the double top cell, so it's just a double lifting of the arms at the same time. So it can be just like that.
Next after this is the bo-pai cell. So it's like the fireball. You can do it with diagonal stance or you can do it with straight stance.
Now when you're doing the bo-pai cell, you don't want to fully extend out. They actually only go out about this much from the side. They only go out about this much.
So another double handed move is the double lap cell. So this is a single lap cell, double lap cell is underneath, so you're grabbing both at the same time. On the dummy form you can see it moves like this. On the outside it's going to be like that, the side is going to be like this. And then the form is combined with a foot sweep.
So you pull this way and you sweep this way to cause a cross movement. Next we're going to talk about the four types of kicks in the wind dummy form. So the first one is called Cai Ge which means just stomping foot.
It's usually a downward movement because Cai means to stomp downwards. The other one is called Chang Ge. Chang Ge means to support. So it's like a beam of support to support something.
So it's usually a little bit higher because you're supporting or you are lifting up a person with it. The other one is the Tie Chang Ge or the diagonal. Supporting foot. So the last one is the foot sweep, which is simply a foot sweep like this. So on the wooden dummy, we have the tai gerp, which is downward stomping of the knee, like this.
So that's tai gerp. And the tang gerp, which is a supporting one like this, a supporting kick. And we have the diagonal tang gerp, which is like this on the wooden dummy.
And then we have the supporting kick, which is sweeping. We call it a sweep kick. It sweeps in slightly. And we have a double grab of the dummy arm here.
