SECTION 3 -- "Sinking" and "pumping up" the Hydraulic biological system, synergizing with the Pneumatic Qi dynamics.

One of the important element in In-Fighting is "Sinking". It is a vital empowerment tool to be able to control, trap and manipulate your opponent. This "upper hand" give you the advantage in timing and therefore able to "read" what is the opponent next move.


Most fights, there will be a lot of exchanges in punches and kicks, with unpredictable outcomes and for sure both will suffer beatings. With trappings, the more skillful exponent will have advantage and the outcome more obvious.


This Section  is basically the typical "Three Prayers to Buddha". but the training objectives is to develop "Interception", "Sinking", "Swallowing" and "Fa Jin". Similarly, like in the Section 2, the torso core muscular structure will be the initiator, controller and manipulator. These again can only be experienced through practice, physically, energetically and mentally. The only way is to start to practice and questions will come out naturally. Then answers will be revealed. One intangible subtle element to add on in this section, is "Yi" or "Intent" or "Mind Power". Through this concept, then you can be relaxed. Only when you are relaxed, the potential energy then can manifest. If you know how do "Fa Jin", you should be able to understand what I mean. Relax, relax, relax.

INTRODUCTION: Sao Lim Wing Chun is a synergy of Shaolin Kung Fu and Wing Chun  The foundation training will be from the Shaolin kung Fu philosophy, concentrating on building strength, endurance, stamina and self discipline. This part of the training is from my late Sifu, the famous Shaolin Master “Iron Fist” Chong Beng Joo. He was one of the most prominent disciple of Reverend Sek Koh Sum, the legendary 49th generation of the Chinese Buddhist lineage; the first being the  revered Bodhidharma (Damo). Wing Chun Kuen’s concept and principles will form the basis of the training method for techniques and applications. Wing Chun Kuen trains the awareness and sensitivity of one’s own body movements derived from the soft, relaxed tendon and joints power. It emphasizes on the center line theory, using opponent’s strength than using own brute strength, structural integrity, economy of energy, timing and space.   Weapons training will be part of the curriculum, using different

The Four Elements of Kung Fu The four elements, namely Earth, Water, Fire and Air describe the characteristics of some movements or techniques. These four elements also correspond to our four "Body", the Physical, Energy, Emotion, Mental body. If you link all the information that you can find in the past 3 posts, you will have a very good understanding of the potential capability and capacity of each technique. This will make a vast difference in the performance of a particular technique.  Let's take Lap Sao as an example and dissect into it. It is a "sink" movement of Earth element, meaning you should make use of the Physical body mass and breathe out as you execute the downwards spiral motion. In the process you should be "grounded" and stable (tighten your perineum while doing the Lap Sao action, if you want to). So you are using the "Chen" fundamental skill, the spiral motion of the elliptical motion, using Apana vayu to effect the
