Once upon a time there was a man named Haa Hon Hung (1892-1962) from Gao Ming County near Foshan, who studied Choy Li Fut from his brother Xia Sang. In the early 1920s he became a student of Great Grandmaster Cheung Lai Cheung in Guangzhou city, the capital of Guangdong province, learning Pak Mei. In 1938 after 18 long years of being a Pak Mei (White Eyebrow Kung Fu) student he had a falling out with Great Grandmaster Cheung Lai Cheung. He could no longer teach under the Pak Mei banner and so Yau Kung Mun was invented with a similar yet different enough backstory. So those of you in the comments who mention its resemblance to Pak Mei now you know why. The Foshan lineage of Pak Mei also comes from Haa Hon Hung and people often comment that it looks like Pak Mei mixed with Choy Li Fut which is because that was the background of Haa Hon Hung. To be clear I am not making any kind of judgement on the quality of Yau Kung Mun or Foshan Pak Mei, I am only providing some information about Haa Hon Hung, in response to the comment "resemblance of Bak Mei" so let no one be offended as no offense is meant. Sometimes Haa Hong Hung is rendered Xia Hanxiong (pinyin).

CAN you explain to me the wing chun stance and how they dont fall backwards ??????

In general, in Wing Chun, the idea is not to absorb a strong force in a manner that greatly disrupts your center of balance and while the incoming force is being redirected the Wing Chun practitioner seeks to strike into the center of the adversary which tends to disrupt or short circuit the incoming force. This is why Wing Chun is a favorite of smaller, lighter practitioners. It is important to understand that Wing Chun was developed so that it would also work well on small boats. When you stand up on a small boat the seat is like a plank of wood often directly behind your legs and you can't jump around to the left or right without falling into the water. What you can do is use your short single edge knives to redirect an enemy's attack with one while slashing with the other, you can also use the setting pole you would normally be holding at one end to put it to use to strike down an enemy's attack and counter knocking them off your boat. Without the weapons you can use your body in a similar manner. When fighting on a slippery deck it is easy to shift to the left and right while keeping your feet in contact with the ground where on rougher terrain you may need to pivot by lifting the heel off the ground or pivot on the heels while taking weight off the ball of the foot. Being tackled was not a big concern in the terrain of rivers and seas as it would likely mean that the best swimmer is most likely going to survive, or both will drown. Later as the art grew in popularity and spread all over the world, people invented ways to use Wing Chun to deal with the wider variety of attacks from the plethora of different fighting styles in the world. In short, there is no real trick to not falling backward, beyond knowing how to relax, root to lower your center, learning how to preserve your structure from pressure by redirecting it similar to how the front of a boat is wedge like and so the water goes around it. If pressure comes to your left turn to dissolve it while barrowing some of it to strike and if it comes to the right half of your body turn to the right, if you own the center you try and prevent impact force from being directed into your center, you tuck your tailbone slightly to keep the upper and lower half of your body from being disconnected, meaning if receiving pressure to the upper half you don't end up bending your spine back and losing balance. If you really like Wing Chun, go find a good teacher and he can explain it better than I can as I am not a Wing Chun Sifu or even practitioner of it. The practitioners of the system I study at one point in history hung out on the boats where the Wing Chun practitioners trained back when many were engaged with rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, this is why Pak Mei and Wing Chun have some similarities.
