The Wing Chun wooden training dummy is a training device designed to correct technique and structure as well as increase power, speed, accuracy, and conditioning.

Learn the true Original Ip Man Wing Chun Wooden Dummy form from Grandmaster Samuel Kwok. This book is a complete step-by-step guide to the Wooden Dummy hands techniques, legs application, and footwork. All the original sections are demonstrated clearly from start to finish, in different camera angles to facilitate easy and accurate learning.

There also is a description of each segment and its most common training mistakes to improve not only your technique, but your level of understanding. In addition to teaching the skills on the wooden dummy.

This is one of those books that when you flip through it, you find yourself stopping a lot to read because so many things catch your eye. This also makes it hard to summarize.

If you are interested in the dummy, then pick up this manual. That is all you really need to know. It contains a lot of interesting information and it should improve your dummy form and applications, or at the very least it should give you some things to ponder the next time you practice. We see a lot of books on the dummy, and we feel this one stands out.

This is Master Chu Song Tin’s 2013 book, the second and final volume of his revised edition of “The Book of Wing Chun”. The book covers the wooden dummy and the two weapons (swords and pole).

From the editor’s notes:

“Since The Book of Wing Chun (Revised Edition), Volume 1 was published in 2011, enquiries on the publishing timeline of Volumes 2 and 3 have been mounting. In the past two years, the arrangement of the remaining contents have undergone significant changes several times. Eventually, Volume 2, which is the last volume, is now published.

This dummy trunk weighs 45 kg + 9 kg for the arms and leg = 54 kg (or 119 lbs total).This dummy comes with a FREE wall stand!
*Weight is taken at time of packing. The weight may be more or less when you receive it due to the humidity of the warehouse and your area, difference in scales, etc.

** UK SPECIAL: If you are in the UK, please contact us for a $200 discount off this dummy. The UK has an environment ideal for marble dummies.

General Information:

If you care about having absolutely the best Wing Chun dummy available on the market today, bar none, then you must have a Buick Yip Wing Chun wooden dummy. There is no question about it: for those that care about their Wing Chun and proper training, this is the ONLY dummy to buy. No other even comes close.

These are the dummies of Sifus, collectors, and the discerning Wing Chun practitioner.

Recently Buick was going to retire from the dummy business. I asked him to give it one more go and make dummies for you guys a little longer before he retired. These dummies could disappear from the market at any time, and when they do they will be even more valued than the original Koo Sang dummies made last generation.

Trunk:

This dummy trunk is made from Tiger Marble Wood. This wood is more dense and heavy than the regular marble. It gets its name from the striping effect sometimes apparent in the grain. The wood has a twisting nature which evolved to help it survive in severe climate conditions and abrupt changes in temperature, and it is this which gives the wood the marbling effect. This wood is very dense “like marble”. It requires the most care to prevent cracking, but can also be the most beautiful.

Dummy Measurements:

The measurements of all the dummies are based on Wong Shun Leung’s dummy made by Koo Sang. Yip Man gave Koo Sang these measurements and we guarantee you won’t be able to tell the difference between your dummy and Wong Shun Leung’s! These dummies are made with the most accurate measurements of any dummy on the market today.

The dummy has many measurements, but the basic ones are these:

• Diameter – 21 cm. (this can vary, if the trunk is slightly larger Buick usually keeps the extra girth and weight)
• Length – 1.4 meters.
• Arm length – 29.5 cm.
• Distance between two top arms (from middle of arms tip) – 21 cm when open, 19 cm when closed.
• From top of dummy to top of 1st opening – 25 cm. (This may vary on longer trunks)
• From bottom of bottom hole of top arms to top of middle arm 23 cm
• Dimension of arm holes – 4 cm.
• Arms tip – 3.5 cm.
• Arms base – 5.5 cm.
• Top of the dummy leg from end to center of knee is 30 cm.
• From center of knee to bottom is 42 cm.
• Cross section of the leg is 7 cm by 8 cm (approx.), and slightly bigger at the knee.

Average Weights*:

60-88 lbs (~27-40 kg) for kapok wood dummies
99-115 lbs (~45-52 kg) for dry elm wood dummies
115-125 lbs (~52-57 kg) for teak, mahogany and peach wood dummies
120-135 lbs (~55-62 kg) for marble wood dummies
120-145 lbs (~55-65 kg) for tiger marble wood dummies
120-155 lbs (~55-70 kg) for lychee wood dummies

*arms legs and slats account for about 12 kg.

The weight varies based on density of the wood used: every tree is different. These weights are only a guide and not a guarantee.

Arms, Legs, Slats:

The dummy arms are 30 cm length and are made from marble wood on all dummies except teak. Marble wood arms were chosen for their density. They do not break.

All dummy legs are made of a solid marble wood or lai chi nut tree branch. The wood has a natural twist so the legs are in one piece and can stand kicking in practice without breaking.

All dummies include two 1.4 meter horizontal slats for mounting.

About the Woods Used:

These dummies became famous, in part, because of the woods originally used for the trunks. These woods are not acquired through regular trade sources. Buick has to make a lot of special trips to minor dealers just to find and acquire a couple of pieces of appropriate material. There is no promise for the continuation of any of the woods used. For example, marble wood was discontinued from 2006 to 2009 due to the fact that all the supply dried up. Luckily, trees grow and we can sometimes bring these dummies to the market once again.

Stands:

Unless you get a free stand as part of a special deal, you will need to get a Buick Yip wall stand, request a Buick floor stand via email, or make your own stand.

Shipping:

Please note if this dummy is slated as USA/Canada (i.e. in our USA warehouse) or Worldwide (i.e. In Hong Kong).

Starting from the top you have two 11 inch Rice filled canvas bags mounted at head and body level. Next you a padded spring arm designed for trapping, sticking and pulling. Last you have an 11 inch foam filled Makiwara board mounted at an angle ideal for knee striking.

The stand is 67 inches high x 42 deep x 44 wide.
The height of bags are determined by how high or low you choose to mount them to the stand.

For the best explanation of this dummy, please watch the YouTube video below.

This station takes 2-4 weeks to construct and drop-ships from the carpenter.

Trunk:

This dummy trunk is made from Lychee Wood. This wood is, by some, considered the best wood for dummies. It is extremely heavy and rare, meaning that the dummy trunk can weigh upwards of 150 lbs. The wood is very dense and has a reddish color. The legs of all the dummies are made from this wood. Lychee is the sole member of the genus Litchi in the soapberry family. It is a fruit tree grown in tropical and sub-tropical Asia.

More Information from Buick:
“Lychee trees dont’ grow big, they are usually saucer size diameter, because of the year rings are so tight they have very high density, a tree trunk with the size suitable for making a dummy is at least 50 years old, probably out of thousands of Lychee trees there is only a few of this size grown.

Lychee is an original fruit from Southern part of China – Canton, it was introduced to other countries in recent years because of its fruit scent and sweetness, because of it’s high density and available here, it has became a legendary dummy material, also because of it’s scarcity fewer lychee dummies had actually been made. None of these dummies were taken from live trees, a living Lychee tree of this size yields 2-3 crops a year and they’re worth thousands of USD, all the trunk material came from real old trees that is slowing down and considered non-productive. None of our dummy materials were cut down alive for the purpose of making dummies, many more of them had been taken down for a length period of time, mostly due to the trees were dying down, or they get in the way of new construction projects.”
