TRAINING METHODS
There are many t raining methods used in sharpening the
execution of the various wing chun techniques. One hundred and
eight techniques can be performed against the wooden dummy,
the most sophisticated wing chun training device. A sand bag, even
a piece of paper or a handkerchief are also effective training
devices. If you have a partner, you can use him to practice many
of the same techniques that are performed against the dummy.
216
CffiCLING-WRIST EXCERCISE
You'll recall that in t he firs£ form, sil lim tao, there are many
wrist circling movements. These wrist movements are mainly used
when your hand is on top of your opponent's and you execute the
circling-wrist block (hieung sao ). The best way to practice the
circling-wrist block (other than with a competent instructor) is
with a wooden dummy.
1
( I) When practicing with the u
wooden dummy, place you r
wrist toward the rear of the rl1h
wooden arm. For cla r ity, the
wr ist here is shown too far fo r- ,,....,... ttlt
ward.
2
(2) Begin the circling-w rist block
by rotating your wrist, turning
the palm toward the f loor.
3
(3) Continue to rotate your
wrist until it is on the other side
of the wooden arm. Complete
the movement with a pa lm stri ke
to the groin area.
217
EXERCISES FOR
STRENGTHENING THE BRIDGE
Your blocking hand, ''bridge", is only as effective as your
ability to withstand a hard blow from an opponent. Although it's
more desirable to deflect a strike rather than taking the full force
of the blow on your forearm, it is sometimes unavoidable in a fast
exchange. Here are a few exercises (with and without a partner)
used in strengthening the bridge.
A
A . When working with the dummy, go straight for the dummy's centerline
and bump the wooden arm with your outside wrist area. B. Strengthen the
outer wrist block by blocking downward wit h the edge of your wrist. All
movements should be repeated at least ten times.

A. Begin the exercise for strengthening the bridge by facing your opponent.
Use your ri ght arm with your hand pointing to the right. B. At the moment
of impact, turn your hand slightly to the left. Execute ten repetitions before
switching to the left hand.
219
PUNCHING EXERCISES
The win g chun sand b ag is circular and is mounted against a
wall at ahout c hest level. Its use is to d evelop stre ngt h in t he wrist
for t he vertical fist. Practice the punch from t he square, right and
left stances. Some wing chun pract itioners pre fer dry peas in t he
