Shaolin Monk:
This is not to say that practicing the wooden dummy is equivalent to beating sandbags.
Wing Chun Master Tu Tengyao:
No, no, the wooden dummy does not mean how hard we hit our hands with a piece of wood. We also don’t really think of the wooden dummy as an opponent. Then if we practice only with the wooden dummy for a long time, it is a fake opponent, then we can’t fight living people. That’s wrong. We use this ruler to find an angle.


Wing Chun Master Tu Tengyao:
For example, after we hit the front, some people will go sideways, hit the side, and hit the head. This won’t work. So we see here that there is no defense but there are offenses, kicks, crotch kicks, and hand kicks. These are all good directions for us to attack, but he is not completely alone and it cannot be fully considered as a person. I am very slick with eye stakes, so is a person. He can move.


Shaolin Monk:
Yes, yes, yes.
Wing Chun Master Tu Tengyao:
As long as he can move, we can’t use this routine to copy into the application. It’s just to use this ruler to make our action standard, standard actions, because of these restrictions, you must perform standard actions before you can put your power on this wooden dummy. To express something accurately is to be accurate.
