In the third section of Chum Kiu, you’ll see the low kick along with stepping and low bong sau, low tan sau and some other footwork principles. You’ll also see the double biu used while stepping the feet together. While this can seem contrary to the stable stances we have developed earlier, you see later how you escape a potentially bad position using the footwork.

The forms are a set of blueprints and so should be looked on as principles rather than a set of fighting techniques to be used against multiple opponents or in a particular order. Drill the forms regularly and use them as “textbooks” to understand the underlying principles of the Wing Chun system.
