Cham Kiu is learned in three phases.
The execution and implementation of the movements can change from phase to phase!
Cham Kiu (Seeking Bridge/Bridge Arms)
Cham Kiu is considered the competency of Wing Chun, it is the second form taught. It teaches the practitioner the skills (ability) of Wing Chun Kung Fu
Yu Ma (hip work and stance) form the first phase of Cham Kiu training. The student must learn these techniques very well, without this the student will not be able to learn the wooden puppet form and his Chi Sao will not work (useless).
Combining the hand techniques with Yei Ma is trained in the second phase of Cham Kiu.
