Hey everybody, Sifu Keith here. Today’s video comes from our Wing Chun training section.

This week we are finishing Movements One through Four. We’ve worked these extensively, so today we’re going to review them backwards, covering both sides, and then bring them into application. Movement Four – Review Starting with Number Four: Two-step Two-step Step forward and strike Change steps: Two-step Step forward and strike Then: Half step → chain punches Lock-style punch Lock-style punch Nice and simple. This is your framework. Start on the right side: T-step Biu-style strike Change step Biu-style strike One, two, three Lock-style punches Remember, the goal is symmetry—both sides of the equation. Turning Shadow Boxing into Application Now we take this framework and apply it with a partner. I throw the hook. He T-steps and counters with Chi-style energy. I create space—he repeats the entry. He fires three punches. Whether you use Pak, Jut, Tan, or Pop, it doesn’t matter. The structure is what matters. Depending on where the punch lands: Inside → lock-style on the inside Outside → lock-style on the outside Do not move unnecessarily. Let the opening present itself. This is a framework—play with it. Flow Example T-step, Biu-style strike Exchange step, Biu-style strike One, two, three Opponent counters: Straight punch → Pak-style, Lop-style punch Or Biu-style punch instead We work in one-minute rounds, staying relaxed and fluid. Adding Kicks From the same structure: Step and strike Exchange step and strike One, two, three Step off the line → Biu-style and front kick If your partner counters with a round kick: Wall it Step in Chain punch Again, this is still Movement Four, just expanded. Revisiting Movement Two Now stepping back to Movement Two: Back step → Tan and punch Exchange step → Tan and punch One, two, three Pak-out punch Lop-out punch Both sides. Once you strike and they retreat: Chase them Biu-style → front kick Wall → step in One, two, three Then: T-step → strike Exchange step → strike Step off the line → Biu-style and front kick Two-Person Application Now we put it together as a two-person set. He enters. I back step and strike. He counters—being a good Wing Chun practitioner, he Dan Sao’s. From here: Ong Sao Tan and strike Chi Sao develops naturally One, two, three If the punch comes inside, I move outside. If it comes outside, I adjust accordingly. Touch one hand, look at the other. Final Notes This is not gospel. There are many variations and options. This routine is designed to: Develop fluid shadow boxing Teach continuous attack Train both sides Connect form to application As Bruce Lee said: “Learn the combination… then forget the combination.” Use this as a framework, not a limitation. Training Assignment Set a two-minute timer and perform the sequence in the air: Slow Controlled Visualize the opponent Visualize the counters Work with your partner respectfully, stay relaxed, and focus on structure. Alright—give it a go.
