Iron Oak: Wooden Dummy

As you can see by the picture below the JKD wooden dummy will be used. The system that I will be teaching will combine Windlock, Shadow Fist, the inside stripping, locking and binding techniques and also the outside sweeping method from the Wing Chun system. Thus the combination of two dummy theories will be implemented.

The form will have the outside skeletal structures of Wing Chun and the internal dragon close-quarter techniques to complete the traditional forms that are seen worldwide on this dummy.
My benefactor was a merchant that lived several hundred years ago. His name was Lo-Ban. When he reached Central America he was then given the name Lujan. I have inherited his information and also his name.
This form will be taught in combination, or separate from, the Shadow Fist system, depending on the qualifications of the student. This system will harden the forearms through rolling them in combination with the stripping, locking and binding techniques.
I will also teach the wall bag principle in the Iron Oak series.
It will require 2-4 weeks of tuition to become familiar with this form. This program is only available to approved students.
Lujan had demonstrated some of the applications on the wooden dummy and taught the first section of this sequence. What he demonstrated has the elegance and flow of some of the other movements such as the Jaguar Series. It does not seem to resemble as much what I had seen from my prior limited exposure to another system, which in comparison the movements now seem somewhat incomplete.
