The System

Ving Tsun Kung Fu is a Chinese martial art. It is famous for its efficiency, which has been proven during the 50s and the 60s of the past century in the Hong Kong street fights — Beimo. The basic characteristics of the system are the quick and short movements, the simultaneous attack and defense, as well as the coordinated use of hands and legs.

The system is built on six main complexes of movements called forms. These are:

Siu Nim Tao

Siu Nim Tao is the initial form. Through it one can learn the meaning of the center line, the discovery of the shortest way to the aim as well as the frontal reception of the opponent.

Chum Kiu

Chum Kiu is regarded to be an advanced form. Unlike the initial form, in this one the fighter moves around by emphasizing on the steps and the spinning, the kicks and the movements coordination.

Biu Jee

Biu Jee, or the third form in the system, scrutinizes several additional problems related to critical situations in which it is allowed to deviate from the basic Ving Tsun principles.

Muk Jan Jong

Muk Jan Jong, or the "wooden man" technique, develops the strength, coordination and steps as well as one of the main Ving Tsun concepts — Lin Siu Dai Da or the simultaneous attack and defense.

Luk Dim Boon Kwun

Luk Dim Boon Kwun, or the "long pole" technique, develops first of all strength, coordination and preciseness. Those who are not acquainted with this form lack enormous amount of knowledge of Ving Tsun.

Bart Cham Dao

Bart Cham Dao, or the "double knives" technique, is taught last. It is not because this is the last form, but because it is something like a system inside the system.
