"Volume 6: Luk-Dim-Boon-Kwun"
The "Six-and-a-Half Point Long Pole" Curriculum of Wing Chun Kuen

"Volume 6: Luk-Dim-Boon-Kwun" is currently under production and slated for publication in 2008. To be notified of when it becomes available, I recommend subscribing to AWCA Notes so that you can receive immediate notification of its release.

"Volume 6: Luk-Dim-Boon-Kwun" is Wing Chun's first formal weapon learned. Here we learn a great deal about "extending" ourselves by using an 8-1/2 foot pole to generate power.

Spending anywhere from 6 months to 1 year on strength training alone, it is no doubt one of the longest stages of the curriculum. It is, however, essential to today's competent practitioner to continue their empty-hand training by learning this phenomenally simple weapon.

Features being implemented include:

Narrated full and slow-motion videos for real-time Luk-Dim-Boon-Kwun training

Front and side-facing photos of the complete Luk-Dim-Boon-Kwun form

3-step drills for learning all of the pole's applications and drills

In-depth text descriptions to bring out the keypoints of the pole's concepts

A step-by-step lesson plan for all four sections, and

A testing phase to gauge your performance as you through the curriculum!

Get ready for some great training, because Volume 6: Luk-Dim-Boon-Kwun will give you a new outlook on the value of Wing Chun weapons training!
