STRUCTURE
IN WING CHUN
From Foundation to Movement and Recovery
A focused 23-page guide to how structure develops through Siu Nim Tau, Cham Kiu and Biu Ji.
One thread across three forms
A MAP FOR
YOUR PRACTICE.
Structure is one of the first ideas we encounter in Wing Chun, yet it is also one of the last ideas we truly understand. It is not a fixed pose. It is a changing relationship between the ground, the joints, the centre of mass, the point of contact and the intention behind the movement.
This short eBook follows that relationship from the foundation of Siu Nim Tau, through connected movement in Cham Kiu, to refinement and recovery in Biu Ji.
- Understand why structure is a relationship rather than a shape
- Connect the ground, stance, elbow, centre and working angles
- Explore movement, torque, spiral force and honest partner testing

About the author
MY PATH.
NOT MY DOCTRINE.
I am a Practical Wing Chun instructor and the author of the My Personal Wing Chun Tao series. The words my personal matter. My books do not claim to present the one truth of Wing Chun. They record an evolving understanding shaped by training, teaching, questioning and revision.
This eBook is an invitation to test structure in your own body, under honest pressure, and to keep refining what you think you understand.
