Description
Lesson
The Wooden Dummy is a training tool that integrates the attack techniques, hand techniques, footwork, and leg techniques from the three Wing Chun forms: Siu Nim Tau, Chum Kiu, and Biu Ji. It fully embodies Wing Chun’s combat awareness and fighting methods.
Made of wood, the Wooden Dummy is equipped with arms and legs and allows for slight movement (elasticity), serving as a simulated opponent for practice. It strengthens the hardness of the hands at the contact points, enhances the overall coordination of the body, and improves footwork agility.
Oh, the legendary wooden dummy technique. I love it.

I thought training on the Muk Yan Jong was about strength, but it’s really about precision. Every strike reveals my mistakes, and the dummy ‘reminds’ me mercilessly of what needs adjusting.

The wooden dummy doesn’t lie. It won’t ‘cooperate’ with you, so if your moves aren’t precise, it will tell you—very honestly!

I think the training with the wooden dummy focuses on developing the body’s muscle memory. Only when the muscle memory is formed can one’s hands strike out even before the brain has a chance to react.

How do we work?
How do we ensure video quality?
We use professional-grade cameras to ensure clarity and smoothness, along with high-quality audio equipment for clear and noise-free sound. Additionally, we strictly control quality at every stage of course production, including content planning, filming, editing, and final output, to provide the best learning experience.
How do we design our course content?
Our courses are carefully structured by experienced Wing Chun instructors, ensuring a scientifically sound learning path from beginner to advanced levels. We integrate traditional and modern teaching methods, breaking down each movement and technique with theoretical explanations so that learners not only master the movements but also understand their principles and applications.
How do we film our instructional videos?
We use multi-angle filming to showcase detailed movements, ensuring that learners can clearly see key actions. Slow-motion playback, annotations, and step-by-step demonstrations are also used to help learners grasp every detail effectively.
How do we translate the course videos?
To ensure accuracy and fluency in translation, we follow a three-step process: AI-assisted draft, human proofreading, and final review. First, we utilize advanced AI translation tools (such as ChatGPT) to generate an initial draft quickly. Then, our professional translators proofread and refine the AI-generated content to ensure accurate terminology, natural language flow, and appropriate adaptation to the instructional context. Finally, an experienced instructor or language expert conducts a final review to guarantee that the translation is both precise and professional, making the course easily understandable for learners worldwide. This efficient process allows us to deliver high-quality multilingual instructional content, helping more learners overcome language barriers and master Wing Chun skills.
How do we edit and optimize our videos?
We use professional video editing software to refine our content, removing unnecessary footage and optimizing video smoothness. Additionally, we add subtitles, key highlights, and visual guides to ensure that the course content is easy to understand, learn, and practice.
Can I refund a purchased course?
We offer a limited-time refund guarantee. If learners are not satisfied with the course content, they can request a refund within the specified period. Please refer to our terms of service for detailed refund policies.
What sets our teaching apart?

Will our courses be updated?
Yes, we regularly optimize and update our courses, incorporating new teaching methods and case studies to ensure that learners always have access to the latest and most effective training techniques.
