Developing Tactile Continuity in Wing Chun Wooden Dummy Training
In Lesson 11, we integrate the core drills from Lessons 3, 4, and 7 into one seamless flow. This long-form drill is designed to develop what we call a “tactile sense of continuity”—the ability to move from one technique to another without hesitation or break in contact.
Why Tactile Continuity Matters in Wing Chun
Tactile continuity is essential for building fluid transitions and real-time sensitivity during contact. By blending movements smoothly, you begin to embody the principle of constant pressure, which is key in close-range combat and wooden dummy practice.
Introducing Wrapping Force
These extended drills also focus on cultivating wrapping force—a unique expression of energy where pressure flows around your partner, rather than directly against them. This force is not just about power, but about directional controland adaptive contact.
How to Train This Drill
• Blend techniques from Lessons 3, 4, and 7 without stopping.
• Maintain continuous pressure through every transition.
• Vary the level and direction of force—apply pressure unevenly when needed.
• Focus on developing tactile intelligence, not just muscle memory.
This lesson trains your ability to read and respond to touch, helping you stay connected and reactive under pressure—an essential skill in both wooden dummy training and live partner drills.
