Professor Nick Cerio felt they added much needed structure to the system (Kenpo traditionally did not practice many, if any forms at first). There were some changes made over the years, so the forms don't look exactly as they first did. Good, bad, or indifferent, that's the reality.

Often improperly romanized as bil gee, biu gee, biu jee, and others, the Yale and Jyutping standards, respectively are Biu Ji or Biu Zi. This often gets translated as "darting fingers" but this is not correct. "Biu" is a noun that means a dart, or the tip of a spear (and can also mean a guard or sentry). "Darting" is not synonymous with the object "dart". It means rapid movement, and while power is emphasized in the form, it is not particularly focused on speed. Other translated as "thrusting" but a dart doesn't thrust, a dart flies. So what do darts and spear tips have in common? Piercing. Penetrating. If I could sum up Wing Chun in one word, it would be Biu. We invade the opponent's space, we pierce inside their guard, inside their stance. We use direct movement. 鏢Biu: dart, spear 指Ji: finger, point Our Lineage: Ip Man-->Ip Chun (former)=>Ip Ching-->Ron Heimberger (former/deceased)=>Samuel Kwok-->Angela Minerva-->Black Sun Boxing

These knives have been called many things, including hudiedao/wu dip dou, mother-child/mother-son knives, hung sing butterfly knives, among others. The knives are peculiar to Southern Chinese martial arts, but not by any means exclusive to Wing Chun. The term Baat Jaam Dou may refer to the form more than the knives. Over time, the knives changed from stabbing-oriented to cutting-oriented, for several reasons. The term "baat" 八 is literally the number 8, but also means "all around, all sides" and in the context of the art of these knives may refer to how they can cut from all angles, and not necessarily specific cuts performed. The term "jaam" 斬 means to cut, chop or sever. Pretty cut and dry, but we do include thrusts as well. The final term, "dou" 刀 doesn't mean knife or sword, but refers to a category of blade construction typified by a single edge and thicker spine. This term is applied to sabers, knives, and even polearms. For our purposes, knife is sufficient, if a bit inaccurate. 八Baat: number eight, all around, all sides 斬Jaam: cut, chop, sever 刀Dou: knife, single edged blade Our Lineage: Ip Man-->Ip Chun (former)=>Ip Ching-->Ron Heimberger (former/deceased)=>Samuel Kwok-->Angela Minerva-->Black Sun Boxing
