Wing Chun Dummy...arrive!

After so many years it is finally here! I finally made the decision to order one. 

The picture above known as the Muk Yan Jong, also known as the Wing Chun wooden dummy. There are many variations where some are mounted on supporting pillars and some are direct to wall. The one i bought have the suction cups to keep it from moving around. The weight is heavy enough to keep it in place and coincidentally the tiles works well with the suction cups. It's similar to what we see in the Ip Man movie by Donnie Yen

It's a bit of a longshot maybe one day i will buy myself one of those bears in Amsterdam as training facilities. One step closer to being an honorable Wing Chun Bear!

Wing Chun – Martial Arts Introduction

Posted on May 2, 2012 by chanc

Due to world wide success of the Ip Man (2008) Movie, Wing Chun became even more popular since the days of Bruce Lee back in the 60′s. For those who may be asking why ….”why Wing Chun Bear? why not Karate Bear or Taichi Bear or Aikido Bear?”

Well as for the new visitors who doesn’t know me well enough, it’s due because I went on a trip to Yokohama Japan and I took a photo of the bear below, and the name just became an alias.

And for those who haven’t seen the movie Ip Man – I highly recommended

Hong Kong Airline Learning Kung Fu

This is probably old news, but interesting to many who might have missed the news where last April, Hong Kong Air have announced they are implementing Wing Chun Training as their compulsory training in addition to Cabin services. (honestly i think the management might have saw that Donnie Yen movie last year)

It was reported that cabin crew have to deal with disruptive passengers, like drunkards and troublemakers.....(or triads!) 3 times a week. (not good PR to announce such thing im sure :P)

Although it may seem like a wild fanboy fantasy where stewardess knows kung fu are usually depicts in Japanese cartoon anime, Wing Chun practioners believed it is believed that its well-suited for cabin crew to use in a small confined space. 

The Deputy  General Manager of Corporate Communications in HK quotes,

"One of the passengers was sick but he was probably drunk and felt unwell -- the crew member attended to him and she realised her fitness was helping her especially because the guy was quite heavy," 

"Normally, a female cabin crew can't handle a fat guy, especially if he's drunk, but because of the training, she can handle it quite easily."

Sir, i think you had a little too much to drink, now get back to your seat before i call in the Wing Chun Bears on you!
