Great video. The Wooden Dummy is a meditation on lines of force. We should be "soft" and conform to contact and always feed [by being "beside" the line while "crossing"] back to their "center". It also teaches the value of leverage and acceptance of "energy" rather than "resistance" of force. We should try to maintain contact and control at all times. Spine rotation and footwork naturally follows as you explain. Focus over force; energy over movement; specificity over power.

Great explanation. But it can also be used for other training purposes. Not just wing Chun.
Like the punching bag is not only for boxing.

And correct use of stance and posture. Thank you. Nice to see a practitioner not smashing into the dummy.

Thank you Sifu. Great explanation! I wish I had one. As a solitary practitioner I could sure use one but they are so expensive.

Thank you! The fact that the spars represent kinetic force is brilliant!

You indeed talked about what wooden dummy actually is. I saw every videos are showing moves, tutorials etc etc. No one is talking about actual purpose of dummy.

I like that you call it the "Jong", we do that too.

I came across an inflatable version, they said more or less the same as you that it was for form rather than condition or striking.
