Slow Motion Jong (Wooden Dummy) Details

Still taken from Jong Video

We put up a new video of Nic Bartell at his new school location Houston Moy Yat Kung Fu Academy.

Sigung Moy Yat compared the Mook Yan Jong (wooden dummy) to a typewriter. The idea being that the Jong is just a tool to help your kung fu. Using a typewriter doesn't make you a better writer, it just makes your writing look better. The jong doesn't teach you anything new - it just cleans up your positions, timing, footwork, etc... It is NOT meant to be used as arm conditioning, or to go through the form as fast as possible while smashing your arms against it. A well-learned Ving Tsun sifu should be able to tell whether the Jong is being played correctly by just listening to the sounds it makes when a student is playing it. Sigung was also known to comment that he could not tell which one was the dummy sometimes when he could hear a student playing the form poorly.

I like to say that you can't tell one Mook from the other when watching videos of people playing in super speed online.

I think this video is pretty interesting with the dolly move around to the back of the jong. Also it is the first  posted online to be in slow motion HD.  We threw in some special details that you may have not seen before from anyone playing the jong form, have fun learning and trying them out.

Please click the thumbs up on the video if you like it, thank you.
