DA HEROES... from page 76 A teacher of Wing Chun is called “Sifu.” A Sifu must teach the student how to position himself in battle, and use kicks, sweeps, palm strikes, punches, and trapping techniques as part of its fighting arsenal.

•There is a technique in Wing Chun called “Chain Punch/Roll Punch,” a combination of at least three straight punches that moves in quick succession and works like a machine gun. Ip Man used this lot of times in the movies. Signature move? Yes. •Some call Wing Chun, “Winning from Losing.” It is so because a Wing Chun fighter relies on the vulnerable spot his opponent makes each time the opponent attacks.
