We should not attack anyone’s eyes, but our Wing Chun ancestors developed this skill, and so we should know it.
When we use the four-fingered Bīu Zī, the four fingers are straight, and the thumb is closed (like most Wing Chun hands). The fingers should be soft and flick out quickly.
If we take a close look at all three of these forms, we will see that Bīu Zī is in all of them.
The hardest part of the training is holding the leg up and keeping the position. As we get tired, the leg will start to drop.
When we kick, we do not just consider the kicking leg; we need to maintain our balance and not move the upper body very much.
Before we can use the punch, we must practise connecting the whole body, from the stance to the waist and then through the body,
If the opponent is prepared, then we do not attack. We should wait for them to attack, but we must keep a safe distance…
We should remember that landing the first attack does not mean that we have won. If the opponent can still fight back, then it means they have only lost the first round.
So, we need to wait for the right situation—when their hands are crossing each other—and then we can use this technique, as we are not so obvious. We must remember that the more strength we use, the more quickly our opponent will react.
Some people only practise Chī Sáu with two hands and never use one hand; others only use one hand. This is not enough. We should also sometimes use kicking…
Our legs are our roots, so they need to be strong; however, it is not the muscles, but the bones, that must be strong, and the muscles must actually be soft. When the bones are strong, the muscles will naturally be strong.
