The Chinese martial art system based on redirection and manipulation of an opponent's force. The system, created by a Shaolin nun, teaches effective means of fighting against a larger and stronger opponent. Techniques are considered to be highly advanced, in that the fighter simultaneously blocks and attacks. Students are taught the means to immobilize an attacker quickly and efficiently.
It’s a common misconception throughout the martial arts that "technique" is the key to defeating an opponent. The fact is that technique is no more or less important than mental conditioning. Many martial artists dislike this idea as it infers that those with poor technique can defeat those with good technique (if they lack the required mental condition). Mental strength is one of the most important characteristic of a good martial artist.

The Wing Chun wooden dummy is a transitional tool between the forms and the actual application of techniques.
It is impossible to move from the beginner to intermediate stages of Wing Chun without understanding and mastering the wooden
dummy. The Wooden dummy is not just another form. It is an important tool and a stepping stone from form to application. Originally
planted in the ground with a long stem, the modern dummy is mounted on a frame or secured by
a heavy base structure. It teaches the practitioner the ability to judge correctly his angles and distancing to the opponent
ensuring efficiency in movement. It also serves the purpose of allowing the practitioner to stick with the dummy so as to
engage and rotate at the close quarter distance.
