Siu Lim Tao is Wing Chun's first form

Translated as 'Way of The little Idea', the practitioner uses the form to study and perfect certain Wing Chun techniques and principles. These include the centreline - the centre of the body which must be protected; elbow position; leg strengthening; basic techniques; use of energy (in the last few inches) and body limits.

The first part of the form trains Chi Gung and Meditation, building energy and power and can take five to forty-five minutes, the next two parts train the release of energy and the control of position and power.
