Combat Chum Kiu: Seeking The Bridge (Precision Wing Chun)

This book is about Chum Kiu, Wing Chun Kung Fu's second training set. The sequence of positions was carefully recorded by one of the authors about fifty years ago. He and his students still do this same set. Much of the intelligence that makes up this set has been lost in modern Wing Chun Kung Fu Schools. This book uses avatars to illustrate the most advantageous bone alignment against opponents all around one's body. These 124 positions are centered on a conceptual vertical line that runs through a human's center of gravity. This set changes positions in very precise ways. The reader is walked through how to do each position. The rest of the book discusses the transitions between these positions and how they enhance one's ability to control violent attacker's coming from different directions. To this end there are 12 hidden bridge strategies in the Chum Kiu set. The stance work from the Chum Kiu set is covered first. This provides the fundamental skill for a bridge strategy. Then the bridge strategy fundamental is demonstrated using a mathematically aligned avatar that knows this set. He neutralizes a common street attack from a second avatar from one of the bridge strategy directions. The Chum Kiu set was created by a nun, Ng Mui who survived the raising of the Shaolin Temple. This book attempts to preserve this set as it used to be practiced. Most attacker's can be outmaneuvered by someone who practices this set diligently as part of their daily life. This enhances one's ability to neutralize an attacker without anyone getting hurt by using more brain and less brawn.
