Enhancing Manipulative Force with Double Tan Sau – Wing Chun Wooden Dummy Application
In this lesson, we continue the rolling cycle of Bong Sau and Tan Sau, but now transition into double Tan Sau outsidethe dummy arms. This shift emphasizes the development of tactile sense and your ability to manipulate force through the wrists.
Focus: Projecting Power Through the Wrists
This drill places full emphasis on:
• Increasing manipulative control
• Projecting structural power through the wrists
• Using body rotation to enhance energy delivery
By combining proper body turning with refined wrist control, you amplify the force in a focused and efficient way. This approach reflects a core Wing Chun principle—using structure and connection rather than brute strength.
Why Wrist and Palm Sensitivity Matters in Wing Chun
In the Mook Yan Jong (wooden dummy) form, every technique should be executed through the wrists and palms, not the forearms.
The wrist serves as the bridge between your arm and hand, refining movement and transforming gross force into precise, responsive action.
Benefits of Tactile Training in Wing Chun
• Increased manipulative sense: Gain better control of both incoming and outgoing energy.
• Real-time micro-adjustments: Fine-tune angle, speed, and pressure dynamically.
• Refined energy transfer: Deliver force from your body through the wrist to the point of contact.
• Deeper contact sensitivity: Over time, your tactile awareness becomes more responsive, allowing for instant reactions in close-quarters exchanges.
