Drills are often called San Sik (separate forms) or San Sau (separate hands) in traditional Wing Chun schools. Drills range from the repetitive practice of basic motions to simple bridging and countering techniques to free-flow sparring.
Most Drills are into three broad categories:
(1) developing basic structure and mechanics through punching, blocking, shifting and stepping;
(2) building timing skill through fundamental arm cycles and interceptions;
(3) cultivating sensitivity and kinesthetic "listening" skills.
The core Drills from Wing Chun Concepts include:
