Book Synopsis Wing Chun Kung Fu - The Brutality of Biu Jee by : Mark Beardsell
Download or read book Wing Chun Kung Fu - The Brutality of Biu Jee written by Mark Beardsell and published by Mark Beardsell. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biu Gee is the third and final hand form of the Wing Chun system and is generally only taught to trusted Wing Chun practitioners. Biu Gee contains advanced techniques and emergency escapes. Bui Gee teaches how to perfect the use of 'inch energy', enabling the practitioner to develop power through very short distances. It also builds on the two way energy developed in Chum Kiu. Biu Gee footwork is known as circle stepping or Huen Ma and is essential to the Wing Chun system. Again this builds on the Chum kiu style thrusting stepping or Biu ma. Huen Ma enables the rapid but safe change of direction enabling the practitioner to avoid an attack and swiftly counter attack. Biu Gee also introduces the practitioner to elbow strikes, the elbow in Cantonese is 'jaan' and Kup Jarn, is a downward elbow. Kup jaan can be used to attack at very close distance where punching or palming with the hand is not an option.
