YKF: Form: Siu Nim Tao

Siu Nim Tao, or Little Idea Form, is the first of 3 unarmed forms found in the Wing Chun system, and the one we focus on in the Youth Kung Fu syllabus. It teaches the main techniques and concepts connected with using Wing Chun in self defence scenarios, and is the basis for everything that comes afterwards.

Siu Nim Tao is the first and most fundamental form of Wing Chun. It is a relatively short form consisting of simple movements that help develop proper body structure, balance, and coordination. The form is practiced slowly and requires a great deal of concentration, focusing on the cultivation of the fundamental principles of Wing Chun.
