Forms
Forms in the Wing Tzun system are sets of movements that serve as catalogues or references of the correct Wing Tzun movements and positions. They also help develop in the student key attributes such as balance, relaxation, coordination, proper breathing, flexibility and strength. Performance of the forms warms up and energizes the body, making the forms useful as warm-up exercises preceding more strenuous training. The forms do not represent simulated fights or set combinations and should be performed in a smooth and relaxed manner.
Siu-Nim-Tao (Little Idea)
This form, learned in the first few lessons, consists of a set of arm movements performed while the student maintains the Wing Tzun "internal rotation adduction stance." Maintaining this stance strengthens the lower body for improved balance, kicking and footwork. Simultaneously, the student learns to relax the upper body and breathe properly while learning all of the basic arm movements and concepts of the Wing Tzun system.
Chum-Kiu (Bridge-Seeking)
This form, learned in the 4 th Student Grade, introduces footwork and kicks in close coordination with various combinations of arm movements. The student gains balance in movement and learns to use the entire body to generate power.
Biu-Tze (Thrusting Fingers)
This form, learned in the 2 nd Technician Grade, introduces the more deadly attacking methods of the Wing Tzun system. The student also learns various "last-ditch" movements that may be applied to deal with extreme emergencies.

Mook-Yan Chong Fa (Wooden Dummy Techniques)
This form, learned in the 4 th Technician Grade, is practiced with a training dummy composed of a trunk, three arm references and a leg. Training on the dummy refines the student's positions and angles and helps develop explosive power. The various arm, leg and body combination techniques contained in this form are also some of the most efficient and economical in the entire Wing Tzun system.
