SECTION 5 -- SUI LIN TAO


The Section 5, Sui Lin Tao in our Sao Lim Wing Chun syllabus is to understand how to do simultaneous defense and attack, economy of time and space, sensitivity in receiving and flowing with the vector force, and cultivate the Body potential.

Train with these concepts and principles, if not the form lost its profound purpose. The purpose is also to internalize the techniques into your neurological system. The Physical and Mental Body will store these experiences and subconsciously manifest when the situations require. 

Once you are in "Auto-Pilot" mode, that is doing the form without thinking, the Mind will be operating "in-the-moment', not interfered by the Ego. When you are applying the techniques with a training partner during "chi sao", and discover that you can almost "read" what is your opponent's intention, you are reaching the level that you can "mind-read" the situation, and therefore influence the outcome.

The whole experience is not only for Martial application but more importantly, cultivate the Mind to be "in-the-moment" in our daily activities.

The form should flow from one technique to the next technique without pauses, so that the Ego Mind has no "space" to influence the exercise. Where are U then? "Watching" the whole situation. The Teacher in U.

At this early stage of learning, you are basically getting into the state of beingness, without the skills of the higher stages. However, this is also a very important stage to set the right attitude in the training. As you progress further into the training, the same set of the form will include other elements of skills, example adding the various breathing methods, the four basic fundamental skills, and the four elemental characteristics. In order to be proficient, the skills have to be developed systematically and progressively so that the training will be seamlessly effective and internalised into the Body and Mind.




The techniques that are incorporated into the Form are:

1. Pak Ta
2. Tan (pull back) Ta
3. Kum Ta
4. Tan (outwards) Ta
5. Fa with Wu Sao
6. Kan Sao (high & low)
7. Tok with Lap Sao
8. Yuen Ta




9. Chum with Wu Sao
10. Bond Sao
11. Lap Ta (high)
12. Lap Ta ( middle)
13. Kan Ta
14. Pin Choi (side body punch)
15. Kei Choi (upper cut)

What is Sao Lim Wing Chun?

-
Image
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

Dialogue between Samurai and Zen Master From the 35 Posts, these basically should be able to lay the foundation and understanding of the requirement and preparation of Kung Fu training. Let's wrap up this series with a "Dialogue between Samurai and Zen Master". Samurai: Master, how does "awareness" affect the realm of a martial artist? Zen Master: First "aware" your body (movements). When you are practicing, keep watching, be alert, and be aware the generation and change pf power of each movement. Zen Master: Next, it is the awareness of mind, awareness of thoughts, imagination, mind projection, and other brain activities, feeling the fluctuation of power generated by the mind, and you will be surprised by the existence of the "exhalation power" from the mind. Zen Master: The next step is to realize the harmony and union of the body and mind, to the cross-fusion of one's mind and everything eternal of the mind. Zen

FOUR ELEMENTS OF KUNG FU

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
