Wing Chun Dummy

You might wonder why I have chosen to put my title as Wing Chun Dummy rather than Ip Man?

It is because right now I am crazy about the Wing Chun Dummy. If you just stumble upon this page and have no idea what a Wing Chun Dummy is then I guess you have to look at what the man is holding.

A couple of weeks ago I got the idea of wanting to buy a wooden dummy. Many people have said you have to know Chi Sau or sticking hands in order to be able to play with the dummy nicely. Well you even need to know all three Wing Chun forms.

As you know I learn Wing Chun from Video if you read my previous post and so far I am on the second form the Chum Kiu or finding bridge. I am too lazy to learn the third. I thought even if I did not know Chi Sau and Biu Jee, I can still play with the wooden dummy. It is not like I am graded by anybody.

I checked around the net and found some website selling it and the prize is pretty crazy, about RM 3000 for one. There are cheaper ones made with PVC as well, never thought they would actually consider this kind of material.

I guess this idea of practising with the Wing Chun Dummy will have to wait. I have no money right now and I will wait till I find a Sifu and go from there.

I guess watching another person practise with the Wing Chun dummy is quite fun. You can get a glimpse of Donnie Yen practising with the dummy right from the start of Ip Man the movie, and some near the end.

There are lots of clips on YouTube if you want to have a look. Just google Wing Chun Dummy and I am sure you will find a lot of wannabes that have better skill than me showcasing their skill.

And in case you do not know what this movie is then you better check it out. Ip Man is a master of Wing Chun and master to Bruce Lee. Just don't confuse him as I P Man. Many did in Malaysia since they do not really know who he is.
