Chum Kiu

[Bil Gee]

Has anyone got any links to sites that give breakdown of Chum Kiu, Ip family flavour?

Something like this http://www.wingchuninteractive.com/site.html that helped me learn the sequence of moves in SNT would be great.

can't you ask your teacher??

Yeah, it would probably be better learning it from your sifu. Chum Kiu seems to vary a fair bit even within lineages. I've seen some that do 3 double ding saos at the start, others do just one. Then with the turning and double lan sao, some schools do 3 turns, others turn once "set" and then turn 3 times, making 4 altogether. I've heard of people who have studied under Yip Chun for quite a while doing the transition from double low bong sao to double tan sao with a different energy to what I'm used to.

In general, it seems to vary a lot more between schools than Siu Nim Tao does.

Billy won't show you Chum Ku until he feels your Si Lim Tau is good enough. There is a point to this.

He has started showing me. But I was stood in the middle of a group of students who knew what they were doing and attempting to follow them, badly a couple of steps behind all the way through .

I need to practice out of class just to get the sequence right in my head, then when I'm in class I can focus on and get advice on the detail.

You can do either or both of the two things I did.

1. Pick a segment each class and stick to it. Practice only the first section, get it down and then move on.

2. Take a private lesson. This is good as you can learn all the applications at the same time which for me, makes it easier to remember.
