In this three part series I discuss a vital skill/ability/idea in Wing Chun called in Cantonese Chinese YI. It is a word usually translated as 'Intent' and sometimes as 'Meaning'.
For many years in my training I was aware of this skill and began using and experimenting with it, with some input from my seniors, yet never knew that it had a name until I read Sifu Horace Chu's essay in his father's Book of Wing Chun Vol 2. I wrote to Horace and discussed the term, which he spelt 'Yee' and then recently I came across a fantastic video by
Sifu Mark Ho, a long time student of Sigung Chu Shong Tin, from Sung wing Chun, Sheffield, England.
In the next two videos I will demonstrate using Yi unarmed and in the third video I will talk about using Yi with the Wing Chun weapons.
