- Seriously? A form? For self-defense? Yes, because Wing Chun’s Siu Lim Tao is unique in that it teaches you how to be simple, direct and effective without being overly simplistic. It gets to the core of the issue, which is how to shut down a sudden attack and dominate an enemy’s vulnerabilities without contradiction. Wing Chun doesn’t teach you to be a boxer or MMA fighter but an effective self-defender, which is what you want in the first place, right?
Self-defense is much more complex than sport combat. In real-world violence we don’t know when and where, nor against whom we’ll be forced to fight. Is it just one opponent? Is someone trying to break into your house? Are you in a parking lot, surrounded by a multitude of hard and unforgiving objects? Are you alone or with your family? You see, self-defense isn’t going to happen in a way you can predict and will, by definition, happen suddenly at a time of the aggressor’s choosing. For this reason we need a martial art system that provides the critical reflexes, muscle memory and tactical knowledge to adapt without our offense sacrificing our defense and vice-versa.
This is why any serious self-defender needs Wing Chun, which was devised with these truths in mind. It assumes that you’re in this type of altercation rather than in a ring or cage. It assumes that the stakes are life or death, so it prepares you to reflexively attack and defend the body’s weakest links. Not only this but it teaches you how to function at extremely close range and assumes that your environment - counter-tops, curbs, walls, tables, etc. - is just as dangerous as your enemy.
How does Wing Chun accomplish this? Well, the answer starts with the Siu Lim Tao form, which provides the foundation for close-quarter self-defense. Siu Lim Tao means “little idea” or “young idea” and is a veritable alphabet of must-have technique, structure, and tactical knowledge. In this book you’ll find all of them detailed and explained in a way you’ve never seen it before.
First, you’ll see the form in its entirety. More than that, you’ll learn the keys to understanding each action.
Second, you’ll learn why the structure of the stance and movements are important for you being able to withstand and counter a violent attack. Nothing in the form is there by chance and must not only be practiced but understood so that you’ll be able to perform under stress. The form’s actions help you eradicate and overcome bad reactions to violence you don’t even know you have without you having to make the mistake in the first place. This is an enormous benefit since no one can safely practice sudden and unpredictable violence. If you have lessons to learn about real-world violence, you better learn them before you need them. Siu Lim Tao’s motto isn’t “live and learn” but “learn and live!”
For example, proper knowledge and skill at Siu Lim Tao will teach you the right foundation of combat footwork so that you aren’t tripping and falling, nor easy to “bum-rush”. It does this by teaching you the right body-feel so that you’ll learn to instantly adapt to different surfaces. After all, there’s a world of difference between fighting on asphalt or a padded floor. Just knowing this (and gaining the necessary skill through the associated drills) can prove to be the difference between safety or a horrific defeat.
Finally, through the chapters that break down each major section of the form, you’ll learn not only the body, but the mind of Wing Chun. Many people make the enormous mistake of knowing the “how” of the technique while being ignorant of the “why.” This is almost worse than knowing nothing at all. It’s absolutely critical to understand the big ideas that animate and guide the form so that you’re truly prepared for the real world.
In all, this book gives you the keys to the Wing Chun system by giving you the mind and body of the system’s soul.

Puts all other Siu Nim Tau books to shame. This is my go to book on the form. The book, the TH-cam videos as a compliment bring everything together. Extremely practical no fluff. Sifu Jason thanks for all your expertise.
Thanks Sifu 🙏 I'm very much looking forward to diving in and digesting this book!
I have an autoimnune disease, so I've been stuck inside for almost a year now (since the pandemic) with nothing to do except work on my martial arts practice and build my home gym, so this book will become invaluable to my library and training. Thanks again!
I enjoyed the book. Food for thought. What the first form gives you. 1) Rooting, chi and energy development. 2) Strong body especially shoulder and arm and wrist flexibility. 3) Instills centre line in the subconscious mind. 4) Develops main blocks and strikes of the system. 5) Inch power to develop powerful strikes from short distance. 6) In the middle section as well as emergency bridges you will find very subtle ways of energy output and development. The second form develops movement, waist power, forward power and rotational power with a few new techniques, but really mastery of Wing Chun is 70 percent in the first form and I only know the first two forms, but I understand you could spend a lifetime mastering the techniques here.
Great content and instruction as always Sifu. Thank You!☯️👍🏻
Thank you once again for getting this useful information out to those who need proper assistance.
I have your book on the Mook Chong and it is very good.
I have practiced Sui Lim Tao each day for over thirty years. There is always a need for continued involvement of the focused movement. I still work on each individual movement and still learn. When I got my mook a few years ago, my Sui Nim Tao progressed greatly. Being able to bring these two important tools of the art of Wing Chun together is a blessing. The resistance of the mook has greatly improved my smaller movements, and application of each movement.
I will be purchasing you book.
Thank you for all you do. Joy and blessings.

that impressive doing wing chun for 30 years. every day doing the first form. your teacher must have been excellent. this gives me great inspiration.
Thank you Shifu. Bridge control! very important in JKD fighting - shovel hocks; right cross (I am right handed). Practicing twice a week in my apartment. The more I study your material the more I see what Bruce Lee brought into JKD form Wing Chung.
I'll suscribe because i dont want anyone to find a photo of mine with that horrible afro i used to have back in the 80s.
Absolutely!! 🤣
When will it be available on apple ibooks
nice stuff
That felt like a classic video. Even had a funny threat at the end. This will probably be the first book of yours I'll buy because I'm in the demographic that doesn't have easy access to a good Wing Chun school nearby.
i only like videos that are like the best thing ever. i have subscribed to your channel 2(going on 3 times) now. i hope this is acceptable. i dont mean any disrespect trying to say your videos arent up to my like quality as many have been liked by me. thank you Sifu Jason cant wait to get my hands on your new book. its said the first form works a part of your brain called nim tao. have you heard about this? it helps use force in a more effecient way.
Nor that each move has multiple meanings .
Cannot recall if there were any ‘fanny packs’, but I think I might have some old embarrassing pics & vids of training with somebody with a 90’s mullet... Lol...!!! No need to ‘break ‘em out’ though, cause I’m already ‘Subscribed’, of course... 😁😎
👍👍👍👍👍
This vid should be listed as a commercial for his book, not any kind of instruction.
Is there an E-book for this?
Yep. Here’s the link:

Hope it’s helpful for you and thanks so much for the support. 🙏
@@JKDandWingChun awesome thanks alot!!
Is there any practice of Chi formation and circulation in Wing Chun similar to Thi Chi Chuan?
There’s a guy in San Francisco who teaches wing chun, grandmaster Bruce Lee’s friend, all energy based.
danplasma Thank you for the information! It is nice to know. Bruce continues to touch so many people through those students etc... of his. I agree with the purpose of cultivating Chi.Peace.
Do you practice the siu lim tau using dynamic tension?
No. Practice it as relaxed as possible, with deep careful breathing. You can practice it fast as well but try be relaxed not with dynamic tension though. Relaxed and slow and you can also practice relaxed with more speed. Fast and slow not with dynamic tension though, doing it really slow will strengthen body.
Almost forgot but then you mentioned mullet and Fanny pack. Done Sifu
so @UC-dKT8q_UgLQLS6jFHYmh4A wing chun kung fu is good and effective for self defense and fighting like shaolin kung fu many people have used it in mma tony ferguson anderson silva and others
Your quality of instruction is quite good. You are good at explaining details. Your videos would be better if you refrained from speaking word curses (albeit inadvertently)--over your viewers, however. Peace.
I fell asleep halfway through.
also @UC-dKT8q_UgLQLS6jFHYmh4A i bet if bruce lee never died he could have been the best boxer,fighter and martial artist of all time and even be called grand martial arts master
This thing that you guys are doing is wrong and unscientific. Ancient Wing Chun practitioners didn't do Wing Chun like that. We had presented our findings to those who had experienced mainstream Wing Chun. Watch our videos for more information.
Oh yeah. Do you love me? 😍💋 💝💖❤️
