The Wooden Dummy

[Black Tiger Fist]

Alot of Gung fu styles have their own dummy you just don't see it. Sometimes its as simple as a single pole in the ground. Hak fu mun has a multi-arm grinder dummy

Correct! We have about 4 different dummies in Hak Fu Mun the first being a solid wooden pole and going up to the Grinder dummy, which is made of metal and concrete. The arms and legs are metal while the body is concrete. This dummy also strikes back when it's struck, so you have to be fast or you will get hit!!

Yep it is, but it takes a lot to get to that point also. A lot of dummy work and Dit Dar Jow.
