Two Arm Drills – Lesson Overview

In this first Two Arm Drill lesson, we focus on practicing the movement patterns using both arms in continuous contact with the Wooden Dummy arms. This training builds directly on the foundation established in the One Arm Drills, applying the same core principles with added complexity and coordination.
The key to transitioning between techniques lies in the rotational movement of the wrist and elbow. These rotations are not just mechanical shifts—they are dynamic methods of control that shape your timing, structure, and sensitivity. This lesson is where you begin to cultivate true bilateral coordination, integrating stepping, turning, and simultaneous control of both arms.
This distinctive Wing Chun practice method allows you to absorb essential qualities into your overall training. Maintaining constant contact with the dummy arms throughout each transition sharpens your awareness of force direction, pressure, and energy management.
We also emphasize the importance of opening and closing the elbow relative to your body’s centerline. Understanding how the elbow guides structure and energy flow is critical for control and power in real applications.
Your starting position for the drills is:
• Left arm Bong Sau (outside)
• Right arm Tan Sau (inside)
Transitions will be the primary focus of this lesson. Instead of breaking down each move step-by-step, you are encouraged to observe and perform. The complexity of these drills makes verbal explanation less effective—learning through doing is key.
Don't expect to pick it all up at once. Let your practice be guided by feeling, contact, and repetition. Over time, the patterns will become natural and the principles will integrate into your movement.
