Gock ng Sing -5 Star Blocking
Drill
The Gock Ng Sing - 5 Star
Blocking Drill is a training exercise used in martial arts, particularly in
Wing Chun Kung Fu. This drill focuses on developing the practitioner's ability
to block attacks from multiple angles while maintaining balance, speed, and
precision.
Wing Chun Kung Fu is known for
its practical and efficient techniques, emphasizing simultaneous defense and
attack. The Gock Ng Sing - 5 Star Blocking Drill is a fundamental exercise in
Wing Chun, teaching students how to protect themselves effectively in a dynamic
combat situation.
The drill is named after the five
points on a star, which represent different angles of attack. The practitioner
stands in a neutral stance, ready to move in any direction. The goal is to
block incoming attacks from these five angles using specific Wing Chun blocking
techniques.
The first angle is straight
ahead, representing a direct punch towards the practitioner's centerline. The
practitioner blocks this attack using a Pak Sao (slap block) or Bong Sao (wing
arm block), redirecting the force of the punch away from their body.
The second angle is from the
side, representing a hook punch or a strike from the side. The practitioner
uses a Tan Sao (palm-up block) or a Jut Sao (jerking hand block) to intercept
and deflect the attack, keeping their guard up.
The third angle is from the other
side, mirroring the second angle. The practitioner repeats the same blocking
techniques on this side, maintaining awareness of attacks from both directions.
The fourth angle is from above,
representing an overhead strike or a grab. The practitioner uses a high Bong
Sao or a Gan Sao (low hand block) to defend against this attack, keeping their
head protected.
The fifth angle is from below,
representing a low kick or a sweep. The practitioner uses a low Bong Sao or a
Kao Sao (leg block) to protect against this attack, keeping their balance and
stability.
As the practitioner becomes more
proficient, the drill can be performed at increasing speeds and with varying
levels of force. This helps to develop quick reflexes and the ability to adapt
to different types of attacks.
The Gock Ng Sing - 5 Star
Blocking Drill is not only a physical exercise but also a mental one, requiring
focus, concentration, and situational awareness. It teaches the practitioner to
anticipate attacks and react swiftly and decisively.
Overall, the Gock Ng Sing - 5
Star Blocking Drill is an essential training exercise in Wing Chun Kung Fu,
helping practitioners to develop the skills necessary for effective
self-defense in real-life situations.
Boang/Tan/Pock/Tan (Basic Combo)
The Boang/Tan/Pock/Tan combo is a
fundamental sequence of techniques in Wing Chun Kung Fu, designed to teach
students how to chain together defensive and offensive movements fluidly and
efficiently. Each technique in the combo serves a specific purpose and builds
upon the previous one, creating a cohesive and effective series of actions.
1. Boang Sao (Wing Arm Block):
- The sequence begins with the Boang Sao, which is a sweeping motion of
the arm used to deflect an incoming attack. The practitioner's arm moves in a
circular motion to intercept and redirect the opponent's strike away from the
body. This establishes the initial defense and sets up for the next technique.
2. Tan Sao (Palm-Up Block):
- Following the Boang Sao, the Tan Sao is employed as a secondary block
or transitionary movement. The Tan Sao is a palm-up block that provides
additional protection and control against the opponent's attack. It helps to
maintain a barrier between the practitioner and the opponent while preparing
for the next phase of the combination.
3. Pock Sao (Slap Block):
- After executing the Tan Sao, the practitioner follows up with the Pock
Sao, also known as the slap block. This technique involves a quick and sharp
movement of the hand to intercept and disrupt the opponent's defense or attack.
The Pock Sao can be used to clear the opponent's guard or create an opening for
a counterattack.
4. Tan Sao (Palm-Up Block):
- The sequence concludes with another Tan Sao, similar to the second
step in the combo. The Tan Sao serves as a final defensive measure or a
transitional movement, providing cover and stability as the practitioner
prepares to either continue the attack or disengage from the encounter.
The Boang/Tan/Pock/Tan combo is
practiced repeatedly to develop muscle memory, timing, and coordination. It
teaches students to seamlessly transition between different defensive and
offensive techniques while maintaining balance and control. Additionally, the
combo serves as a foundation for more advanced techniques and combinations in
Wing Chun Kung Fu.
Practitioners of Wing Chun Kung
Fu strive to execute techniques with precision, speed, and efficiency, and the
Boang/Tan/Pock/Tan combo exemplifies these principles. By mastering this basic
sequence, students can progress to more complex and sophisticated maneuvers,
ultimately enhancing their overall martial arts skills and effectiveness in
self-defense situations.
Gahng Gyeuk (feet drill)
Gahng Gyeuk, or "footwork
drill," is a fundamental exercise in Wing Chun Kung Fu that focuses on
developing agility, balance, and coordination in foot movements. This drill is
essential for practitioners to effectively control distance, angle, and
positioning in combat situations, allowing them to evade attacks and maintain
advantageous positions.
The Gahng Gyeuk drill typically
involves a series of stepping patterns and directional changes, performed in a
controlled and deliberate manner. Practitioners practice moving forward,
backward, sideways, and in circular motions, mimicking the footwork needed to
navigate around an opponent or to close the distance for an attack.
Key components of the Gahng Gyeuk
drill include:
1. Forward Steps (Chum Ma):
Practitioners practice stepping forward with the lead foot, maintaining balance
and stability. This movement is crucial for closing the distance between
oneself and the opponent while maintaining a defensive stance.
2. Backward Steps (Toi Ma): Practitioners
practice stepping backward with the rear foot, maintaining balance and keeping
the opponent at a safe distance. This movement is essential for creating space
and avoiding incoming attacks.
3. Side Steps (Biu Ma):
Practitioners practice stepping to the side, either to the left or right, to
evade attacks or change angles. Side stepping allows practitioners to create
openings for counterattacks while maintaining a defensive posture.
4. Pivot Steps (Ji Ma):
Practitioners practice pivoting on one foot to change direction quickly. Pivot
steps are useful for maintaining facing towards the opponent while moving
around them or adjusting positioning during an exchange.
5. Triangle Steps (Sam Gyeuk Ma):
Practitioners practice stepping in a triangular pattern, moving forward, to the
side, and backward in a fluid motion. Triangle steps are useful for maintaining
optimal positioning and creating angles of attack or defense.
6. Circle Steps (Yun Ma):
Practitioners practice moving in a circular pattern, either clockwise or
counterclockwise. Circle steps are useful for controlling the centerline,
creating angles, and evading attacks.
The Gahng Gyeuk drill is
typically performed slowly at first to focus on proper technique and weight
distribution. As practitioners become more proficient, they can increase speed
and fluidity, simulating real combat scenarios. By mastering the Gahng Gyeuk
drill, Wing Chun practitioners can enhance their overall mobility, control, and
effectiveness in self-defense situations.
Lop/Jing Jyeung
In Wing Chun Kung Fu, "Lop
Sao" (Pulling Hand) and "Jing Jyeung" (Elbow Control) are two
techniques used in close-quarters combat to control an opponent's arms and
create openings for strikes or takedowns. These techniques are part of the Chi
Sao (Sticky Hands) training and are essential for developing sensitivity,
timing, and control in a dynamic fight.
1. Lop Sao (Pulling Hand):
- Lop Sao is a technique used to control or redirect an opponent's arm.
It involves using one hand to "lop" or pull the opponent's arm
downward or across their body, disrupting their balance and opening up space
for a counterattack. Lop Sao is often used in conjunction with other techniques
to set up traps or to break the opponent's guard.
2. Jing Jyeung (Elbow Control):
- Jing Jyeung is a technique used to control an opponent's elbow,
typically after a Lop Sao or as a standalone move. By controlling the
opponent's elbow, the practitioner can limit the opponent's range of motion and
prevent them from striking effectively. Jing Jyeung can also be used to
off-balance the opponent and create opportunities for follow-up attacks or
takedowns.
In Chi Sao training,
practitioners practice these techniques in a controlled and repetitive manner,
allowing them to develop sensitivity to their opponent's movements and
intentions. Through constant practice, practitioners learn to anticipate and
respond to changes in pressure and direction, enabling them to maintain control
and counter effectively.
Lop Sao and Jing Jyeung are not
only effective techniques for controlling an opponent but also serve as
principles that can be applied to various situations. They teach practitioners
the importance of sensitivity, timing, and adaptability in combat, helping them
to become more versatile and effective martial artists.
Kuen Siu Kuen - Fist Parries Fist
Kuen Siu Kuen, also known as
"Fist Parries Fist," is a fundamental technique in Wing Chun Kung Fu
used for defense against straight punches. This technique is designed to
intercept and redirect an opponent's punch, simultaneously protecting oneself
and creating an opening for a counterattack. Kuen Siu Kuen is a core principle
in Wing Chun, emphasizing efficiency, directness, and simultaneous attack and
defense.
The technique is executed as
follows:
1. Defense Position:
- Begin in a Wing Chun stance, with the body facing the opponent
square-on. The lead hand is positioned in a vertical Wu Sao (protecting hand)
guard, while the rear hand is in a fist position, ready to execute the parry.
2. Parry:
- As the opponent throws a straight punch, the practitioner uses the
rear hand to parry the punch to the outside, deflecting it away from the body.
The parry is executed with a forward and downward motion, using the forearm to
redirect the punch.
3. Counterattack:
- Immediately after the parry, the practitioner launches a counterattack
with the lead hand. This can be a punch, a palm strike, or another technique
aimed at the opponent's centerline.
4. Simultaneous Defense and
Attack:
- One of the key principles of Kuen Siu Kuen is the concept of
simultaneous defense and attack. By parrying the opponent's punch and
counterattacking in one fluid motion, the practitioner maintains pressure on
the opponent while defending themselves.
5. Follow-up:
- After the initial counterattack, the practitioner can continue to
follow up with additional strikes or control techniques, depending on the
situation.
Kuen Siu Kuen is practiced
extensively in Wing Chun training to develop speed, timing, and precision in
defense and counterattacks. It teaches practitioners to react instinctively to
incoming attacks and to capitalize on openings in the opponent's defense.
Mastery of Kuen Siu Kuen is essential for effective self-defense in
close-quarters combat, where quick and decisive actions can make the difference
between success and failure.
Fon Kuen Siu Kuen - Whip Punch
Parries Punch
Fon Kuen Siu Kuen, or "Whip
Punch Parries Punch," is a technique in Wing Chun Kung Fu that combines a
defensive parry with an offensive strike. This technique is used to deflect an
opponent's punch while simultaneously delivering a counterattack, allowing the
practitioner to defend and attack in one fluid motion.
The technique is executed as
follows:
1. Defense Position:
- Begin in a Wing Chun stance, with the body facing the opponent
square-on. The lead hand is positioned in a vertical Wu Sao (protecting hand)
guard, while the rear hand is in a fist position, ready to execute the whip
punch.
2. Parry:
- As the opponent throws a straight punch, use the lead hand to parry
the punch to the outside, deflecting it away from the body. The parry is
executed with a whipping motion, using the forearm to redirect the punch.
3. Whip Punch:
- Immediately after the parry, launch a whip punch with the rear hand.
The whip punch is a fast, snapping punch that generates power from the rotation
of the waist and hips. The punch is aimed at the opponent's centerline,
exploiting the opening created by the parry.
4. Simultaneous Defense and
Attack:
- Like Kuen Siu Kuen, Fon Kuen Siu Kuen emphasizes the concept of
simultaneous defense and attack. By parrying the opponent's punch and
delivering a counterattack in one motion, the practitioner maintains pressure
on the opponent while defending themselves.
5. Follow-up:
- After the initial whip punch, follow up with additional strikes or
control techniques as needed to maintain the advantage.
Fon Kuen Siu Kuen is a versatile
technique that can be used in various combat situations. It requires speed,
timing, and precision to effectively deflect the opponent's punch and deliver a
powerful counterattack. By mastering this technique, Wing Chun practitioners
can defend themselves while simultaneously keeping the pressure on their
opponent, increasing their chances of success in a confrontation.
Tan Da/Gahng Da (Tan - Punch
Combo)
Tan Da/Gahng Da, or Tan - Punch
Combo, is a common technique sequence in Wing Chun Kung Fu that combines a Tan
Sao (Palm-Up Block) with a straight punch. This combination allows for
simultaneous defense and attack, characteristic of Wing Chun's practical and
efficient fighting principles. The Tan Da/Gahng Da combo is designed to quickly
intercept an opponent's attack and deliver a counterattack with minimal
telegraphing.
The technique is executed as
follows:
1. Defense Position:
- Begin in a Wing Chun stance, with the body facing the opponent
square-on. The lead hand is positioned in a vertical Wu Sao (protecting hand)
guard, while the rear hand is in a fist position, ready to execute the punch.
2. Tan Sao (Palm-Up Block):
- As the opponent throws a punch, use the lead hand to execute a Tan
Sao, deflecting the punch to the outside. The Tan Sao is a palm-up block that
redirects the opponent's attack away from the body while maintaining a barrier
between the practitioner and the opponent.
3. Da (Punch):
- Immediately after the Tan Sao, follow up with a punch from the rear
hand. The punch is executed with speed and power, aimed at the opponent's
centerline. The punch is typically a straight punch but can also be a hook
punch or uppercut, depending on the situation.
4. Gahng Da (Follow-up Punch):
- If the initial punch does not incapacitate the opponent, follow up
with a second punch from the lead hand. This follow-up punch adds pressure and
keeps the opponent off balance, allowing for further attacks or control
techniques.
5. Simultaneous Defense and
Attack:
- The Tan Da/Gahng Da combo exemplifies the Wing Chun principle of
simultaneous defense and attack. By deflecting the opponent's attack with the
Tan Sao and immediately counterattacking with punches, the practitioner
maintains pressure on the opponent while defending themselves.
6. Follow-up:
- After the Tan Da/Gahng Da combo, continue to follow up with additional
strikes, control techniques, or footwork to maintain the advantage and control
the flow of the fight.
The Tan Da/Gahng Da combo is a
versatile and effective technique in Wing Chun, suitable for a variety of
combat situations. It teaches practitioners to respond quickly and decisively
to incoming attacks while maintaining a strong offense. Mastery of this combo
requires practice to develop speed, timing, and precision in both defense and
attack.
Jom Sau/Fun Sau
Jom Sau/Fun Sau is a combination
of techniques in Wing Chun Kung Fu that involves a grabbing hand (Jom Sau)
followed by a returning hand (Fun Sau). This combination is used to control an
opponent's arm and create openings for counterattacks.
Here's how the technique is
executed:
1. Jom Sau (Grabbing Hand):
- Begin in a Wing Chun stance, with the body facing the opponent
square-on. As the opponent throws a punch, use one hand (usually the lead hand)
to execute a Jom Sau, which is a grabbing motion to control the opponent's
punching arm. The Jom Sau is aimed at the opponent's wrist or forearm, allowing
you to control their arm and prevent further attacks.
2. Fun Sau (Returning Hand):
- After grabbing the opponent's arm with Jom Sau, immediately follow up
with a Fun Sau, which is a returning hand technique. Fun Sau is typically a
strike or a palm-up block aimed at the opponent's face or upper body. This
technique capitalizes on the control established with Jom Sau to deliver a
quick and effective counterattack.
3. Control and Counter:
- The combination of Jom Sau and Fun Sau allows you to simultaneously
control the opponent's arm and strike, creating a fluid and effective defense
and attack sequence. By grabbing the opponent's arm with Jom Sau, you disrupt
their attack and set up the opening for a counterattack with Fun Sau.
4. Speed and Timing:
- Mastery of Jom Sau/Fun Sau requires speed, timing, and precision. The
techniques must be executed quickly and decisively to be effective. Practicing
the combination repeatedly will help develop the muscle memory needed to
execute the techniques smoothly in a combat situation.
5. Follow-up:
- After executing Jom Sau/Fun Sau, you can follow up with additional
strikes, control techniques, or footwork to maintain the advantage and control
the flow of the fight.
Jom Sau/Fun Sau is a versatile
technique that can be applied in various combat situations. It teaches
practitioners to use the opponent's attacks against them, controlling their
movements while setting up opportunities for counterattacks. Mastery of this
combination requires practice and refinement of timing, sensitivity, and
control.
Pock/Punch
Pock/Punch is a combination of
techniques in Wing Chun Kung Fu that involves a slap block (Pock Sao) followed
by a punch. This combination is used to deflect an opponent's attack and
counterattack quickly and decisively.
Here's how the technique is
executed:
1. Pock Sao (Slap Block):
- Begin in a Wing Chun stance, with the body facing the opponent
square-on. As the opponent throws a punch, use one hand (usually the lead hand)
to execute a Pock Sao, which is a quick and sharp slap block. The Pock Sao is
aimed at the opponent's punching arm, deflecting it away from your body and
creating an opening for a counterattack.
2. Punch:
- Immediately after executing the Pock Sao, follow up with a punch from
the other hand (usually the rear hand). The punch is aimed at the opponent's
centerline, exploiting the opening created by the Pock Sao. The punch should be
fast and powerful, using the momentum generated by the Pock Sao to add force to
the strike.
3. Simultaneous Defense and
Attack:
- The Pock/Punch combination exemplifies the Wing Chun principle of
simultaneous defense and attack. By deflecting the opponent's attack with the
Pock Sao and immediately counterattacking with a punch, you maintain pressure
on the opponent while defending yourself.
4. Speed and Timing:

this combination requires practice and refinement of timing, sensitivity, and
control.
Jom Sau/Bong Sau
Jom Sau/Bong Sau is a combination
of techniques in Wing Chun Kung Fu that involves a grabbing hand (Jom Sau)
followed by a wing arm block (Bong Sau). This combination is used to control an
opponent's arm and defend against attacks from multiple angles.
Here's how the technique is
executed:
1. Jom Sau (Grabbing Hand):
- Begin in a Wing Chun stance, with the body facing the opponent
square-on. As the opponent throws a punch, use one hand (usually the lead hand)
to execute a Jom Sau, which is a grabbing motion to control the opponent's
punching arm. The Jom Sau is aimed at the opponent's wrist or forearm, allowing
you to control their arm and prevent further attacks.
2. Bong Sau (Wing Arm Block):
- After grabbing the opponent's arm with Jom Sau, immediately follow up
with a Bong Sau. The Bong Sau is a wing arm block that deflects attacks aimed
at your upper body. It is executed with the other hand (usually the rear hand),
which comes up and across the body in a circular motion to intercept and
redirect the opponent's punch.
3. Control and Defense:
- The combination of Jom Sau and Bong Sau allows you to simultaneously
control the opponent's arm and defend against attacks. By grabbing the

attacks, using a combination of grabbing, blocking, and striking techniques. Mastery
of this combination requires practice and refinement of timing, sensitivity,
and control.
Boang Sau/Lop/Fun Sau
Boang Sau/Lop/Fun Sau is a
combination of techniques in Wing Chun Kung Fu that involves a sweeping block
(Boang Sau), a pulling hand (Lop Sau), and a returning hand (Fun Sau). This
combination is used to deflect an opponent's attack, control their arm, and
deliver a counterattack.
Here's how the technique is
executed:
1. Boang Sau (Sweeping Block):
- Begin in a Wing Chun stance, with the body facing the opponent
square-on. As the opponent throws a punch, use one hand (usually the lead hand)
to execute a Boang Sau, which is a sweeping block that deflects the punch to
the outside. The Boang Sau is aimed at the opponent's punching arm, redirecting
it away from your body.
2. Lop Sau (Pulling Hand):
- After deflecting the opponent's punch with Boang Sau, immediately
follow up with a Lop Sau. The Lop Sau is a pulling hand technique used to
control the opponent's arm. It is executed with the same hand that performed
the Boang Sau, grabbing the opponent's arm and pulling it downward and across
your body.
3. Fun Sau (Returning Hand):
- After grabbing the opponent's arm with Lop Sau, immediately follow up
with a Fun Sau. The Fun Sau is a returning hand technique, typically a strike
or a palm-up block aimed at the opponent's face or upper body. This technique
