Intro To Wing Chun Wooden Dummy | Simple Drills For Beginners 

I practiced Wing Chun some thirty/forty years ago, but it seemed that no one mentioned the simple but important facts as illustrated by you. Thank you very much for your free sharing.

People talk shit about WC but I'll tell you this, as a relatively experienced striker I've learned more about entrances by watching WC & FMA videos and applying or adapting them to my personal game than any other martial art that I have actually practiced to some degree. I spar with guys who've only trained kickboxing for the most part and between the entrance strategies I've picked up from WC & FMA most of them have a hard time seeing me coming. I use traps & locks very sparingly but when the opportunity is there it's a done deal the majority of the time. Diversify your skillset, you don't need to become an expert in every martial art but if you just get the basics of each then you take what's useful for you & apply it. As they say in Ninjutsu "If it works use it".

You make some excellent points: the importance of the center line, the importance of proper footwork, not losing the connection to the wooden dummy, the importance of not using excessive force, and the importance of proper footwork in order to execute a strike.

That's pretty cool, easy enough for a beginner to understand and start with.

Aftrr training since eight and now being sixty , I found this brilliant . Simply simple but simple essential to wing chun . Thank you semper viratus Tim

Thanks Kevin. I am always pushing foot work for everything. So important. I'll have to add position in. It is so basic you might look over it just assuming people know. Great points.

Fantastic video,

Thanks a lot for sharing this material dear Kevin. I've loved this video

you're awesome dude

Some of the most painful and debilitating strikes are in Okinawan karate BLOCKING with the forearms. Every practioner of Goju, Isshin-ryu, Shorin-ryu, Uechi-ryu etc remembers to the day he dies the pain of practicing blocking. It wasn't bad with other students because you would both go easy on each other. But when you had to practice with a Black Belt, oh the pain. I've been thinking about getting a Wing Chun wooden dummy to start conditioning my forearms again.

Nice explanations! It’s a very good entry for learning the dummy form.

Good one

thank you, good expiation, easy to understand, Peace

Obviously this martial art is strong and effective. But it is the first time that someone explains the functions of that wooden "Totem" that seems so primitive and mysterious to us Westerners. Thanks for the didactic and simple explanation for such a complex art! Congratulations!🌟

😎 go job.

Thumbs up

Great info! And the tape being part of the Mu ren zhuang training! Great video!

excellent vid, thankyou. Subscribed

Great video!

Great! Now I need a wooden dummy!

HE IS GOOD!!

Excellent instruction and explanation! 👍👍 Been a powerlifter and multi sport athlete and currently making my own wooden dummy for training.

Excellent video Sifu!

I wanna learn it some day

Finally, someone who understands principles.Wing Chun has been taking a beating for years. You speak and teach very well. I would like to meet you. Im in San Diego, CA, I think you are in Florida. Can we speak sometime.

Canal excelente, comecei a seguir hoje. Parabéns! :D

Thanks for sharing,I'm practicing on a chair in my garage.☯️🥋🥊⚡

Awesome, mahalo !

What if you combined Wingchun with Muay Thai, would that not be unstoppable? If you used true Wingchun that is kinda like jiujitsu, aswellas Aikido.

Smart guy

I love your videos Kevin.

👌👌👌👌👌👌

Well that's interesting about using the squareness of the holes , never heard that before. I built my own dummy body out of PVC drainage pipe back in the 90's and just made round holes for conviinience , and the arms I bought were round too. It works fine for what I do because I really don't use much Wing Chun . I even added a spring loaded leg to practice sweeps and trips. But that's really cool and it makes total sense. Always more to learn !

really nice explanation of this basic drills, one question if I may, can you talk about the steps ( triangle shape you have in the floor and how to set it up ) in the dummy form ? Thanks

Best explanation EVER. Thx. Know any good instructors / gyms in Las Vegas?

thenk you

G'day, Mr Kevin Lee. I just had to ask a question regarding the wooden dummy. No.1 > First and foremost is the wooden dummy used to train Japanese or Chinese martial arts. No.2 > is this wooden dummy also available overseas ( if indeed yes, is it possible to specify which countries uses it). No.3 > here is the last and most difficult question: if there's a martial arts school in South Africa that uses it and it's close to Pretoria, could it be possible that you can specify which school it is because I want to continue training again. All the best Jaco

Excellent video, thank you! I'm considering purchasing a real wooden dummy but the ones I've seen for sale appear to be too tall. I'm 5'1" so would need one where my arms could reach the upper arms, as well as the middle and the leg. Do you have any suggestions as to who would sell one with appropriate height?

Yes, You have explained it in such a way that makes it easy to understand the true movements.. Great instruction.. Thank You.

Kevin,. Chinese believe Yin ☯️ and Yang ... In other words a moment to be hard and soft or with in a spilt second! Applications are with good techniques depending on space, distance and timing... You do have food points Mr. Lee.. however, I seen what Black Belts do during work outs many times.

Thanks Sihing Kevin! Very helpful! Quick question: Can you show how you do a syeung jut sao toward the end of a set?

It would be great honored to learn from the best to be the best the ancient tradition ways🙏

I wish that I had such training when I was a young man.

Hello yes

I'm an old chap but I've always been taught that the mook above arms should be at the same height as chest. (so the dummy is about 10/15 cm lower) What do you think? Excellent instruction btw Regards from a Futchman living in France.

Great stuff. Really concise, clear explanation. Do you speak native Cantonese?

Dommy gung chu🦅🐍

Did you post any other dummy videos or is it only this one for beginners. I like the video just wondering if you continue these to next level drills.

Kev Kev - it’s T and l be by there real soon 😂 Love this video

Man, that's some stuff I haven't seen in over 30 years. I wish I were still as capable as I was then. Getting old sucks. ☹

Kevin, has the academy created any online dummy courses to work at home on our wooden dummies?

Kevin Lee is possibly the highest level martial artist on youtube....Osssss!

Cool man. Just caught it. 💯”Ung moon huh. Cool. That’s a #brucelee set he’s doing. Not a traditional wing chun set. Cool. ☕️😎7:09 I think that one is a JAK JEUNG side palm Kevin. 😛👍that was neat.

I love the drills you showed. You made those techniques look very simple to do. Now I just have to purchase a Wing Chun dummy. Do you know where I can buy one?

the dummt seems like a good training method even for boxing can these drills apply for boxing combinations maybe you can make a new video on using the dummy for boxing combinations nevertheless love the content!

Excellent explained. Thank you very much. One question, can a 35 years old man, begins to practice wingchung?

Wing Chun techniques you use impressive and amazing and incredible and very unique and its own right you'll see that type of technique to be very powerful we'll use the right way I just wish I could have been doing it it's actually pretty amazing when you using that type of martial art very powerful and very very exquisite 🥋☯️🙏😌🙏☯️🥋

Hey, I live a few hours from John's creek. Do yall do any seminars or traveling?

Can we get an intermediate and exper level next? This was great 👍🏽

Are you pivoting with your feet in the way you teach in your lineage?

Sifu, does wing chun practise pole standing like the incredible xingyiquan?

Recommendation on qhere to buy one of these fir beginner?

when you pivot, is it on the balls of the feet or your heel?

I have a question how long are the arms for the dummy as I wanna try to make my own version of the dummy to teach myself

Is there a class in upland ca.. would love to get back into training. Can you help me out
