Mok Yan Jong "Wooden Man Form"
back to System
The famous Ving Tsun "Wooden Dummy" Form.
Historically this form has been expanded and contracted by various masters. The version we play is the one handed down by Yip Man (seen here to the left) it contains 108 movements in 8 sections.
The main purpose of this form is to train your "Yee" or intent/will while maintaining appropriate positioning and structure. It is not a substitute for a live partner rather a training tool to focus on detailed aspects of the system.
Without the foundation provided by the hand forms and the principles they contain, one cannot understand the nature of the Wooden Dummy.
