Introduction ∞

• Translates as “Beautiful Springtime”

• Three styles since the 1770s:

  1. Sil Lum Tao (or Siu Nim Dao) – “little imagination”
  2. Chum Kil (or Chum Kiu) – “bridge-seeking”
  3. Bil Jee (or Biu Gee) – “thrusting fingers”

• Simplicity in the number of forms and freestyle fighting with a focus on confidence with aggression and control of a fight instead of “self-defence”. It is not for fitness, meditation or demonstration but to train to become a weapon.
