Wing Chun names
The Baat Cham Dao, also known as the double knife form, consists of 8 sections and was developed to deflect attacks with traditional weapons. The movements are chopping and rotating, covering all possible angles of attack.
Unlike unarmed Wing Chun, the knife form does not involve direct contact. Instead, it requires quick footwork, adaptation, and precise timing.
The motto is: "He who hesitates, loses."
In Wing Chun, the Balance Line pertains to a positioning of the body that maximizes balance and stability during a fight. This involves maintaining an upright body axis and evenly distributing your weight between both legs/feet.
The Balance Line extends from the center of one foot to the center of the other.
Biu Ji also known as Darting Fingers is the third classical form of Wing Chun, performed with a focus on the torso. It emphasizes quick and explosive movements as well as the generation of reactive forces.
Bong Gerk the wing leg, is an important leg technique in Wing Chun where the leg swings inward from the side to deflect attacks or unbalance the opponent.
The movement follows a semicircular path from the outside to the inside.
Bong Sao, also known as the wing arm, is a key technique in classical Wing Chun that is introduced in the Siu Nim Tau form. This complex movement is often used in conjunction with an attack and follows a semicircular path from the outside to the inside.
Bong Sao serves as a deflective technique that comes into play when the structure of other techniques, such as Taan Sao, is compromised by a punch crossing the centerline or when the wrists are being controlled.
