Here are some proverbs in Wing Chun Kung Fu;
- “Yao ying da ying; mo ying da yieng”
(when you see form, strike form; when there is no form, strike shadow). - “Lui lao hui soong; lut sao jik chung”
(as my opponent comes, I receive him as he leaves, i escort him; upon loss contact, i charge forward). - “Lien siu dai da”
(linking defense to bring in offense). - Bo lay tao, dao fu san, tiet kiu sau
(Glass Head, bean curd body, and iron bridges). - Kuen yao sum fat
(fist comes from heart). - Sao lao jung sien
(the hand remains in the centerline) - Da sao jik siu sao
(the striking hand also functions simultaneously as defending hand). - Mo keung da
(don’t force your strike). - Mo luen da
(don’t waste your strikes).
