First Section of the Siu Lim Tao Form of the Wing Chun System The first section of the Siu Lim Tao (SLT) form is fundamental to the Wing Chun system, introducing the Yee Gee Kim Yeung Ma stance. This foundation strengthens muscles, joints, tendons, and bones, grounding the practitioner's body structure. This stance demonstrates the symmetry of the body and the bilaterality necessary to develop defensive, offensive, and manipulative techniques with the hands and arms. Slowly practicing upper limb movements improves psychomotor coordination and body awareness, disciplining the mind and increasing concentration. Kim Yeung Ma's stationary structure helps calm the mind, promoting physical and mental relaxation. Starting the movements on the left side is crucial, as most people are right-handed, which balances the practitioner's abilities and develops ambidexterity. During practice, the body's structure should remain still, with body weight evenly distributed (50% on each leg) and the knee angle unchanged to avoid unnecessary movement. The hips should be projected forward and slightly upward, energetically connecting the upper limbs, especially the elbows, generating structural power (Jarn Dai Lik). The energy should be focused on the target in front, aligned with the body's central median line, projecting like the tip of an isosceles triangle. This ensures that both fists effectively reach the convergent point of the central line in any situation, also utilizing the sensitivity of the hands and arms (chi sao). The torso must remain still, without swaying or rotation. Direct and economical movements are emphasized, using energy efficiently to defend and attack vital points along the opponent's centerline. The first section of the SLT is an exercise in energy accumulation and refinement, combining smooth and firm movements (Yin and Yang), essential for executing punches with the power of the inch and relaxation. The practice involves physical exercises that develop energy and correct positions, using slow dynamic tension on the antagonist muscles (biceps and triceps) to generate adequate energy at the elbow. Explosive movements and changes train the use of accumulated energy. Neglecting the first section of the SLT prevents the development of the energy necessary for effective Wing Chun techniques. The precise angle of each movement must be adjusted according to the opponent's height, with special attention paid to maintaining relaxed shoulders and a natural posture. In Wing Chun, stances are based on the Theory of Triangles, which activate kinetic and energetic forces, directing them like a ship's bow that opens space in the center of the opponent's body, redirecting and diverting the opposing forces to the sides. This triangular structure separates, divides, or cuts, making it essential for the effective application of the system's techniques.

As a teenager he needed to find a way to spend his energy and Kung Fu was an obvious choice. But instead he joined a bodybuilding gym at age 15, the first time he understood the body's mechanism. The following year he started trainingKarate under the tutelage of Carter Wong at the Kowloon Scout Club. 2 years later he heard that theWing Chun it was a very good style with the hands. In order to fill in the gaps in Karate's hand technique, he started training Wing Chun underSifu Ng Wah Sum , nicknamed the "short-legged tiger", who was a disciple ofLeung Sheung (GM Yip Man's first formal student) . He was also the chosen fighter, represented by the Wing Chun System, to compete in the Southeast Asia Open Tournament in Singapore in 1969. Sifu Ng took 3rd place, respectively.

And there friends had already heard about his Wing Chun and asked him to give a private lesson. The number of students grew rapidly. The following year (1972), he opened the first Wing Chun School in New York City, near Chinatown. The school had attracted hundreds of Americans and local martial artists. His school also caught the attention of other Chinatown Kung Fu schools. At that time, teaching for non-Chinese was still not favorable. He was often threatened by them. Except a Fu-Jaw Pai's Kung Fu School. The master was Eng Wai Hong who had an open mind and recognized the Wing Chun System. He invited Sifu Chow to the Eastern Kung Fu Federation Committee. Master Wai Hong was a hard-working promoter, taking Sifu Chow and many Kung Fu masters to travel around the US and abroad to promote the arts of Kung Fu and inspired him to give Wing Chun seminars. Shooting of the movie "Warrior within" in Hawaii Established martial arts are part of the global culture that encouraged him to delve into the science behind them, especially Wing Chun. He started training Kali, Muai Thai, Boxing, Taichi Chuan, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu…etc. In Wing Chun, he improved his knowledge with Kenneth Chung, Yip Chun, Yip Ching, Hawkins Cheung, Alan Ngai to understand the different paths and aspects of Wing Chun. In 1985 he organized the 8 Wing Chun theories for the magazine Inside Kung Fu and eventually in poster format. It also produced 13 instructional video lessons. He traveled to several countries to spread Wing Chun and in 1996 he came to Brazil for the first time at the invitation of Sifu Francisco D'Urbano from UNK and since then he has come regularly to the country to give seminars to his students who are now teachers and who represent him and continue his legacy. His last article in Wing Chun Illustrated Magazine 2018 was the hip power concept “Jarn Dai Lik”.
