Siu Lim Tao (Young Idea)
All the basic hand movements used in Wing Chun are contained in Siu Nim Tao.
There is minimal leg movement in the form.
The feet only move to set up the stance in the initial movements.
Siu Nim Tao practice:
defines the centreline and teaches students where their hands should be relative to it
teaches students how to execute Wing Chun strikes correctly
reinforces the correct elbow position
instills correct breathing patterns
facilitates force generation in short range Wing Chun strikes.Great emphasis is put on relaxation while performing Siu Nim Tao.

2nd Form (Chum Kiu)
Chum Kiu is translated as 'searching for the bridge', and is the Wing Chun intermediate level form. After a proficient level is attained in the Siu Nim Tau, Chum Kiu is taught. Jyun Ma - Turning Stance, Hau Ma - Back Stance, are incorporated using Yiu Ma - Waist Power, to generate force in the strikes and block movements. The Wing Chun kicks are also introduced at this stage, however further kicking drills are taught to maintain correct hand positions as learnt in the Siu Nim Tau. Chum translates as search or 'to seek', and Kiu has the meaning bridge, Kiu Sau therefore has the meaning 'Bridge Hand'. Knowing how to deal with an opponent's bridges ( arms ) is needed, hence the Chi Sau training which trains sensitivity which is seriously required at this stage. The heart of the Chum Kiu form is 'Yiu Ma Hap Lap', translated as 'waist power co-operation', either in deflecting or returning force.
3rd Form (Bil Jee)
Bil Jee, translated as 'darting fingers', gives the understanding of a fierce and deadly art form, and this is true. Although this art form is now openly taught in many Wing Chun schools around the world ( but not in all ), it was, back in the days of old, taught to those "inside the door", meaning it wasn't taught freely to any student. The Wing Chun School strikes the balance - Biu Tze is part of the curriculum, as the complete system is taught. However, a responsibility is on our instructors not to give a loaded weapon to someone not mature enough to handle it

Sil Lim Tao, Chum Kiu and Mok Jang Jong in High Quality!
It is time the Wing Chun world worked together to forget about the politic,s.
Lets all work together and preserve the fighting system Ip Man worked so hard to promote and develop.
Chi-sau (sticky hands)
Chi sao is practiced in the wing chun system to develop sensitivity and reflexes and later leads to sparring.
Essentially teaches you how to fight, adapt to a situation and how take control of an opponent.
Chi sao develops extreme sensitivity in the forearms.
