Around a Group Siu Nim Tao - Ving Tsun (wing chun) Kung Fu Form Practice
Siu Nim Tao (Sil Lum Tao), the first form Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) Kung Fu system, is the most basic, and also the most advanced. All of the martial arts techniques useful for self-defense are inherent in this form. A 'form' can be said to be a set of techniques played in sequence, but it also reflects the nature or essence of Kung Fu.
Siu Nim Tao principles can be applied to every exercise in the Ving Tsun system. To develop and master Kung Fu, it's important to practice Siu Nim Tao, a lot. The best answer to most questions is simply more Siu Nim Tao; more attention and disciplined practice given to the 'Little Beginning Idea'.
At Kung Fu Fxbg, we practice forms solo, but also as a group. Following someone else playing the form is an opportunity to see, feel and understand how they do it, which gives us insights into our own practice.
