Mok Yan Jong
aka
Wooden Dummy
Mok Yan Jong (木人樁, Mu Ren Zhuang) aka Wooden Dummy is not just the name of the piece of wooden equipment that Wing Tsun practitioners practice on, but also the name of the form that is specifically practiced on that piece of equipment.
Luk Dim Boon Guan
aka
6-and-a-half Point Pole
Luk Dim Boon Guan (六點半棍, Liu Dian Ban Gwun) is one of two weapons in the Wing Tsun arsenal. It is an extremely long (9 feet) and heavy hardwood pole.
Unlike shorter poles or cudgels, the Luk Dim Boon Guan focuses primarily on the single tip.
Baat Jum Dao
Baat Jum Dao (八斬刀, Ba Jan Dao) is the second and final weapon form in Wing Tsun. It is the antithesis to the Luk Dim Boon Guan, and relies on quick, nimble footwork and swift sword strokes.
Two Person Sets
Two person sets are used for practicing techniques taught through the various forms, for example, Chum Kiu Jit Sau (尋橋節手, Biao Zhi Jie Shou), Biu Tze Cha (標指折, Biao Zhi Zhe), Zhong Fa (樁法, Zhuang Fa).
Chi Sau
Chi Sau (黐手, Chi Shou) is a form of sensitivity training. By contacting the opponent's arm, we learn to determine the strength, speed, angle and intent of the attack, and consequently react accordingly. At the highest level, training is conducted with blindfolds (閉目黐手, Bi Mu Chi Shou).
