How to train Wing Chun

A handy tip for all those that think they can jump to the end of the Wing Chun system and skip the rest, when you learn the Sil-Lim-Tau (Siu-Lim meaning small or little and Tau meaning the way or path thus translated a little idea) its stance is commonly know as siu-lim-tau ma or also called yee-chi-kim-yeung-ma, this stance is meant to be stood in for long periods of time to build the strength in the legs so that when you begin to learn chum-kiu your legs can support your weight for the skills you are about to build on THEN when you have completely understood chum-kiu you will then have the strength to begin biu-jee / biu-tze and then when this is understood and complete you can take your skills to the dummy and learn the dummy form and from here break down the form and so on.
