A) EMPTY HAND FORMS:
    1) Siu Nim Tau ("Little Idea")
    2) Chum Kiu ("Seeking the Bridge")
    3) Biu Tze ("Shooting Fingers")

B) MUK YAN JONG (Wooden Dummy)

C) WEAPON FORMS:
    1) Luk Dim Boon Kwun (Six-and-a-half Point Pole)
    2) Baat Jaam Dao (Eight Chopping/Slashing Knives)

These forms are also not a secret to the martial arts community; they are the well-known basics of the Ving Tsun system.

Our teacher, Sifu Henry Moy Yee, teaches a unique array of san sau drills, which employ the authentic Ving Tsun hand techniques and give them practical application. These san sau drills are a series of two-men drills which quicken a student's understanding of the Ving Tsun hand techniques through constant and rigorous practice. They also build the student's "Kung" or internal energy. It is through these san sau drills that a student can develop a good sense of forward energy and the centerline, concepts essential to Ving Tsun. San sau is an exercise of the Ving Tsun system as is chi sau (sticky hands). These two important and sophisticated exercises are just parts of the Ving Tsun system. What, then, is the single, most important tool necessary for learning Ving Tsun? It is the sifu. A qualified sifu is the only thing that can make a student understand the essence of the Ving Tsun system.

The Ving Tsun system may appear to be a simple and straightforward kung fu style, but in actuality it is a very advanced fighting system filled with details and precision, which only a good sifu can teach. The system can only be learned through a student - teacher relationship. Instructional videos or seminars can never teach more than the superficial aspects of any given technique. A kung fu school is the true place where kung fu knowledge can be exchanged. It is the repetitive practice and the guidance of a true sifu that can yield the true beauty of our Ving Tsun system.

Our Sifu teaches the Ving Tsun system in a very traditional manner. The school is never thought of as a place where one goes to simply "work out" or "work up a sweat". It is not a gym or health club. It is a sacred place were kung fu knowledge is to be passed down. In our kung fu school our Sifu knows our names, our situations, our progress, our difficulties and our abilities, and many times customizes his instruction with these factors in mind. What this means is that our teacher, Sifu Henry Moy Yee, creates a relationship with his student, not "contracts." Only through a true student-teacher relationship can true kung fu knowledge be attained. This is the primary reason why in our school any serious student must learn of the importance of the traditional kung fu ceremony of "Bai-Si".

Bai-Si is a sacred promise between student and teacher and follows a student asking his teacher to become an "in-door" or "special student". What these two terms actually mean is that the student is asking to become a close student of his teacher, one who will honor his teacher by preserving his teachings, one who will always acknowledge his sifu as his master, and one who will forge a life-long relationship with his sifu.

The Bai-Si is in essence a pledge of honor, a promise made by student and teacher.

The sifu promises to teach his disciple without reservation, confiding in him his knowledge, his personal thoughts and experiences. The disciple is many times entrusted with the kung fu school and the charge of his younger kung fu brothers and sisters.

The Bai-Si ceremony is a must in any traditional kung fu school. It is the start of a relationship between student and teacher within which kung fu knowledge is to be passed down. It creates a relaxed and trusting atmosphere for learning what was once a secretive art, passed down only to the male sons of the kung fu masters.
