Benefits
of Training With a Wing Chun Wooden Dummy
Most people have probably seen a wooden dummy before. There is
a famous scene in "Rumble in the Bronx" where Jackie Chan uses one

So You Want
To Learn Self-Defense
In most martial arts schools today you can take regular lessons
and add some self-defense classes. But there is still the problem
of the effectiveness of the martial art and the so called self-defense
moves being taught. It has been my experience that many of the martial
art methods being taught in the United States are not completely
functional in today's world. You have Tae Kwon Do schools, Karate
schools, Ju-Jitsu schools and Kung Fu...

Clever
Techniques And Simple Principles Applied On The Wooden Dummy
Wing Chun is a wonderfully fluid martial art with practices and
techniques that flow nicely from form to form, with locks, throws
and strikes. However, they all take practice, and if you go to a
martial arts school, you'll find that school time is best devoted
to lessons with hands on help and sparring, so you can see how those
techniques match up when faced against a real person. Wooden dummy
techniques are a good way to practice them when you're not in class...

A
Dummy Can Teach You How to Flow Smoothly From Technique to Technique
Wing Chung is a martial arts discipline that deals with striking
and position control. Wing Chung wooden dummy training is a common
way to practice strikes and foot control. The wooden dummy used
for training is called a Mook Jong. Wing Chung wooden dummy training
allows a Wing Chung student to practice making contact, which is
a very important part of the discipline since Wing Chung striking
is all about control and precision. You cannot gain precision by
punching and striking air. The Mook Jong gives the student a target
and allows them to feel the impact of the strike which helps develop
his or her sense of touch...
