"Wing Chun is an internal martial art. It begins with Siu Nim Tao, a static posture training method known as Zhan Zhuang in the internal arts. The primary purpose of the postures in Siu Nim Tao are to train the feeling of connectedness into the brain and nervous system, as it is easier to cultivate this feeling standing still than moving. We have several major physical connections we train including the ground, knees, waist, elbows, shoulders, neck and eyes. A student works this posture and trains Siu Nim Tao until a feeling of unity develops. After this has been achieved, the student begins to move while paying attention to maintaining this unity in motion. This is when Chum Kiu is trained so the student learns how to move the body with this same unity." ~Sifu Adam Williss
