Sil Lim Tao
This course focuses on the techniques and concepts of Sil Lim Tao, Wing Chun’s first set. This course teaches foundational basics with an emphasis on relaxation, structure and forward intention while linking energetic intent with structure. Sil Lim Tao means “little idea” as it gives a little idea about Wing Chun.
Nim Lik
Nim lik, or idea energy, is one of many foundational aspects of Wing Chun which starts with its first set, Sil Lim Tao. In this course, we explore nim lik and implement it into practice through the set as well as curated drills specifically aimed at developing the nim lik and structural connection.
In essence, Siu Nim Tau has two major points: nim lik and “structure”.
