The video’s instruction gives a brief description of the dummy’s, origin, essentially from the southern Shaolin Schools (dei Jong). The construction of the Much Yan Jong, differ because of the environment where the Wooden Dummy is used, such as in Hong Kong. The dimensions are given for the dummy and the basic techniques used for inside and outside applications. The term Jong Sau, is used to represent structure.

Review Comments:
Instructional videos can be a useful tool in one’s learning, provided one also has an excellent teacher in the first place…it’s important that any visual media in the martial arts, not only show, how to perform a movement properly, but also what happens, when it’s done incorrectly. This video is compact, with good training advice…with information and essentials in developing useful skills, in the Wing Chun System. The training sections provided in this production, show the proper movement in the wooden dummy form, along with the applicationsassociated with each basic technique.One can easily observe what is meant by capturing an opponent’s angle, controlling their angle and redirecting their “live energy.” For any beginner, in the Wing Chun system, this set of basic training videos, in the Muk Yan Jong form, would be an excellent investment.
