Wing Chun Forms
The first form of Wing Chun – the Siu-Lim-Tao (‘little
idea’)
The
Siu-Lim-Tao is the foundation of the Wing Chun style, and is
therefore of vital importance to the practitioner. It’s
true meaning stems from the Buddha, and its performance – and
therefore that of the entire system – demands the right
frame of mind, a comprehension of its correct positions and
movements, and the development and exercise of the style’s
breathing technique.
The most
common mistake made by Wing Chun practitioners derives from
an ignorance of the correct form and a misunderstanding of
its true meaning. Wing
Chun wins through theory and softness, so above all the body
should feel natural and relaxed.
