THREE BASIC ELLIPTICAL MOTIONS

The Three Basic Elliptical Motions

Based on three basic elliptical motions and the probabilities of the combinations of the three motions in the Dao Sao Flow exercise, innumerable movements are manifested naturally with mindfulness according to the situation. Each movement coordinates with the whole body, stretching the tendons, the muscles, the spine vertebrates etc, integrating all forces mindfully to support the intention of the mind.

Coiling and uncoiling, compressing and releasing, stretching, extending, "closing" and "opening" the joints, the spine and the body, have the benefits at the same time to "massage" the organs and eliminate fats around the organs. 

There are four basic energy flow activated by the four basic movements of upwards, downwards, forwards and backwards. The variation of these movements with the three basic elliptical motions and adding speed, can manifest a very powerful force momentum. All these movements and energy flow can be practice in our Sao Lim Wing Chun Lotus Form, especially in the Part 2.

The Spine is the place where the energy centers reside and through which energy is transmitted to different parts of the body. The energy can get stuck if the Mental Body is unbalanced. Therefore the emotional state of the Mind is very important to clear the stagnant energy.

Practicing Dap Sao Flow exercise is more than just martial art, but designed for overall well-being both eternally and internally. The overall movements of the limbs, core of the body, joints, tendons etc, "lubricates and energies" the human anatomy. The perspiration allows toxic to be released and promote "breathing" of the pores. With Mindfulness, the Dap Sao Flow exercise is also a form of "Dynamic Meditation".

The Three Basic Elliptical Motions are :-

  1. Horizontal -- as expressed especially in Chum Kui 
  2. Vertical -- as expressed in some throws, Qinna and some sinking techniques
  3. Spiral -- as expressed especially in Bui Jee

What is Sao Lim Wing Chun?

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 curricul...

Wing Chun in the 2000s of today world

Wing Chun is one of the most popular Kung Fu style in the world today..... Wing Chun's origin was from Southern China, believed to be from the Shaolin temple. Its true origin is still yet to be proven or verified. There are a few versions of its origin, which seem to be probable but still some facts just don't match or tally. The most talked about is the Buddhist nun, Ng Mui witnessing the battle of the Crane and the Snake....... teaching the Art to Yim Wing Chun ......  Through time, Wing Chun has evolved in many ways, but the "visual" core characteristics are still recognizable. Some are very hard and external, some are soft and "internal" and some are mixed with other Kung Fu styles. Under the influences and backgrounds of different masters, diverse styles of Wing Chun were evolved. Not surprisingly more new variations will materialize as time goes by. Today one can see many fractions of Wing Chun, like Yip Man Wing Chun (which is one of the post p...

My Wing Chun Journey

My Wing Chun Journey I have been "meddling" with Wing Chun for about twenty years, researching into the origin and different types of Wing Chun. Up till now no neutral, impartial researchers can come up with a conclusive findings. Whenever I met somebody who ask me about my lineage, I actually "frown" inside me, can't help wondering how much the questioner understand about Wing Chun. But it is natural that if anybody is affiliated  with a certain lineage, they will be automatically "loyal" to that lineage, protecting, defending and promoting their vested self-interest. Sometimes people failed to realize the Truth..... and may not want to acknowledge it. There are many unscrupulous martial artists getting affiliated with so called "Grand masters" just to exploit the popularity of Wing Chun. Equally unscrupulous are the so called "Grand masters", appointing their representatives with just a few seminars. These are the dish...
