Wing Chun Dummy Oak Wood

For Chinese people, martial arts are one of the most important activities during the life. You’ve probably heard about many martial arts like kung fu, for example, and when you heard about kung fu, you’ve also heard about Bruce Lee? Yeah, I know. If you however are practicing any kind of martial arts, you know that dummy is very important part for the training, because your training partner can’t always be there for you. Today, I want to tell you about particularly Wing Chun Dummy. Traditionally, these dummies are made from wood, but can also be made of steel and plastic.

Woods:
Trunk Wood: Oak Wood
Arms Wood: Pony Tail Pine/Palm Wood
Leg Wood: Lychee Wood
Please see the “about Wing Chun Dummy” Tab for more details on the woods Buick uses.

Arm Setting:
Parallel (The arm tips are fairly level with one another and the same height off the floor. If you want, you can flip one over to make them more traditional in spacing with the left arm higher than the right).

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.
