      Introduction

      Preface

      As should be clear from the title, this book describes all six forms commonly used in Wing Chun. So far as I know, this is the only English-language book currently in print (or electronic format) covering all six forms.

      In this book we go through the steps of the forms with very little discussion of Wing Chun theory, the techniques, applications, drills, and so on. Other books in my Wing Chun series cover the moves, applications, and learning Wing Chun from first lesson to mastery.

      I am aware that many instructors don’t want to let the secrets out. Most commonly, Siu Nim Tau and Chum Kiu may be taught openly but Bil Jie is a secret reserved for long-time, dedicated students. Dummy techniques may or may not be taught but the dummy form and the weapons forms aren’t taught until after the empty-hand techniques are mastered — which is to say, only the special students learn them. I don’t have much use for that philosophy. Secrecy leads to loss of knowledge. In the extreme case, an entire style can be lost because the only people who knew it died without passing it along. I do expect to get some messages from Wing Chun instructors, taking me to task for revealing secrets.

      You will quickly notice that I do not provide pictures for every movement, like a stop-motion video of performing the forms. The book is more than double the size, whether measured in pages or in megabytes, when images for every step are included. If enough people don’t like this decision (and sales are good enough to make it worthwhile), I’ll publish a second edition with every picture, or larger pictures, or color pictures, or whatever the paying customers are looking for.

      Lineage

      The Wing Chun forms described in this book are from the Moy Yat lineage through my Sigong Don Green (of Rochester, New York, USA) and Sifu Mark Messare (near Albany, New York, USA).
