ISMA-WyngTjun

Bare hands forms

Siu Nim Tao, Siu Lim Tao, 小念頭; pinyin: xiǎ o niàn tóu; Yale Cantonese : siu2 nim6 tau4: small idea or small imagination.

The first form is the most important one in WyngTjun. Siu Nim Tao is the foundation on which all successful techniques and forms depend. The fundamental rules of balance and corporal structure are focused on at this stage, as well as basic techniques. It is also a complete Qi Gong/Kygung form.

Chum Kiu, 尋橋; pinyin: xún qiáo; Yale Cantonese : cham4 kiu4:  seek the bridge, the sinking bridge or else, make a bridge.

The second form Chum Kiu concentrates on mobility techniques (move as a block) and on opening techniques to overcome the distance between the practitioner and his opponent as well as to perturb his structure and his balance. This form basically introduces defensive techniques. Short distance attacks with elbows and knees are also worked on at this stage.

Biu Jee, Biu Gee, Biu Tse, Biu Tze, 鏢指; pinyin: biāo zhǐ; Yale Cantonese: biu1 ji2: piercing fingers.

The third form Biu Jee is made of ultra short and ultra long techniques, low kicks, sweep kicks and emergency techniques to counter-attack when the structure and the central line have been compromised or when the practitioner is seriously injured. This form introduces offensive techniques.


Forms with accessories

Mook Yan Chong, Mu Ren Zhuang (pinyin mandarine), 木人樁: wooden man or doll.

This form is practised with a wooden doll, made up of a trunk, three arms and a leg. To train with the wooden doll refines the positions and the angles of the practitioner and helps to develop explosive force.

Look Dim Boon Kwun 六點半棍, Lio Dian Ban Guen (pinyin mandarine) : the 6"6 stick.

This form uses a heavy wooden stick measuring between 2,40m and 2,70m. It teaches the student to handle a long and/or a heavy weapon. The training with the long stick improves the dynamic force and the corporal coordination of the student. Moreover, it includes techniques and movements of the superior part of the body that also can be applied in situations of unarmed combat. Even though the arm positions differ significantly from the bare hands techniques, the techniques taught in this form are based on the same principles and concepts.

Bart Cham Dao 蝴蝶双刀, Hu Die Shuang Dao (pinyin mandarine), Bat Tram Dao (vietnamese) : pair of butterfly knives.

In this form, the student works with a pair of 40cm long knives. It teaches the student to handle short and/or cutting and/or two weapons. The training with butterfly knives tremendously improves the force and the precision of the student's bare hands techniques while also improving his balance, his speed and his range.
