Footwork is very important in all martial arts and Wing Chun has its own techniques for moving around and especially shifting.

You might wonder if shifting is all that useful in a real scenario, this video shows a way that you can apply it to get your opponent off their center line and take advantage while they can't counter your attacks.

As important as it is to keep your own center line, you should also look for opportunities to get your opponent off of theirs.

As the first form in Wing Chun, Siu Nim Tao is the foundation for learning the correct stance, hand positions, fundamental techniques and getting used to your center line. In Cantonese, Siu means small, young, or just born. Nim (sometimes written as Lim) means idea, thought or reason. The word Tao means starting or beginning. Together, the phrase translates as “The Little Idea for Beginning.”

Siu Nim Tao is taught in three sections. The first third concentrates on developing good structure, relaxation and Gung Lik or “Elbow Energy.” This section is performed slowly and without muscle tension. Many consider this part to be almost like a preparatory meditation. In the beginning it is taught without any coordination to breath, and the focus is simply on remaining mindful and “in the moment.” It is not uncommon to feel warm and calm during the performance of this section.

The second section of Siu Nim Tao begins to develop Fajing, or the “release of power.” You begin to use both hands simultaneously while maintaining a solid stance. To release power efficiently you should stay completely relaxed and wait until the last moment of the movement.

The third and final section of Siu Nim Tao teaches the basic techniques of Wing Chun. These include Tan Sau, Bong Sau, Jeung strikes and others, and are performed one hand at a time.

Since Siu Nim Tao is the first form, many people mistakenly believe that it is only for the beginning student. Instead, Siu Nim Tao is intended to be practiced throughout your entire lifetime. Each stage of your development brings a new level of insight, meaning, emphasis and refinement. It becomes a mirror of your development.
