Choy Lee Fut Wooden Dummy 蔡李佛陳家

Sifu Paul Nomchong training one of the 18 Official Shaolin Wooden Dummies from the Chan Family Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu System. This particular wooden dummy is named "Ching Jong" or Balance Dummy. It is classified as a "Primary Level" wooden dummy form. It teaches the practitioner how to execute a variety of techniques while maintaining balanced footwork, forearm and shin conditioning, striking distance and accuracy, and joint strength and stability with each punch, kick and block. Note: The dummy in the beginning of this video consists of a large tree trunk fixed into a concrete block. The fixed arms and moving arm is also wood with a 15kg weight on one end to increase difficulty. The bottom leg is made of metal. Even though the trunk of this particular dummy is encased in a layer of padding for safety, the dense material is still felt with each blow.
