Wing Chun is more than a fighting system. For me the forms hide a philosophical meaning. With Siu Nim Tau (meaning “Little Idea”) we start developing a determination to change our actual status. With Chum Kiu (meaning “Seeking the Bridge”) we seek the bridge to reach enlightenment or a higher knowledge. Biu Ji…points the finger to the moon…to keep looking forward since the path…is long and difficult.
