good question, that’s what the last form is for, “how to recover your structure when you completely lose it”, we’ll get to that in the future, but for now, work on never losing it in the first place! by practicing the first form.

Jin,
If your opponent gets past your “front door” and “hallway” and into your “master bedroom” haven’t they corrupted your forward triangle? And if so, do you still have an effective triangle structure? In other words, let’s say that you’ve made a mistake and they have clinched with you, how can you effectively maintain your structure? And if you cannot guarantee the integrity of your structure, how do you get it back?

Fuk Sau means “controlling hand”, and if you think about it, that’s pretty much what it does.

What does Fuk sau actually mean? Sau is “hand”, correct?
thank you for the great work. I just begun wing chu, and love it, thanks to you too, who help give such a simple understanding of moovements that to simply look at seem so silly and easy!!
PS: in an order in the videos? like first level, second level?

you have a few choices, build yourself a wooden dummy, it doesn’t have to be fancy, so you can practice. You can also practice the form in front of a full length mirror. See if you can come up with a creative way to practice. Hawkins Cheung built a crazy contraption with big springs and a shopping cart! =D
