In Part 2 I mentioned to learn how to punch using the Dan Tian. This practice can be quite a challenge but doable as long as you stick to the practice.

In Part 3 there are two things a beginner should focus on.

The first thing is understanding the principle of the immoveable elbow. The easiest way to learn it is by practicing the 6-Blocks.

However, Block-2 is a technique that many Wing Chun styles do not have so we can reorder the six movements exercise into a five movements sequence using techniques that are found across Wing Chun styles as follows :-

Block 1 –> Block 6 –> Block 4 –> Block 5 –> Block 3 –> Block 1 and repeat.

Block 2 comes from an old style Wing Chun that I learned and is a technique that is commonly found in many other styles whether Southern Shaolin, Karate or Taekwondo. It can be useful when a particular problem arises in the practice of Poon Sao.

The second thing to practice is to take the Sam Bai Fut section and practice it with the use of the Dan Tian to move the arm back and forth. If you have practice how to use Dan Tian to do punching then this would be easier to practice. If not, just keep at it.

And that’s the end of Part 3.
