~OP:
These are forms borrowed and adapted from Shotokan Karate. 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.

Links for respective attributions in the link tree.
~OP:
Biu Ji 鏢指 is the third hand form in Wing Chun Kung Fu. 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

~OP:
The final form in the Wing Chun system. The "8-cut blades" or Baat Jaam Dou. 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

Wing Chun's second hand form, Cham Kiu, often improperly romanized as "Chum" Kiu. Cham can be translated as "sinking"( 沉 ) or "seeking"( 尋 ) verbally, and strong arguments have been made for both. I say keep the versatility, use both meanings. The written characters are quite different, but spoken are pronounced identically.

Siu Lim Tau 小念頭
*Originally uploaded elsewhere July 15, 2019. This was our second real location, rent sharing with The Phoenix Society of Historical Swordsmanship and Viñas Arnis. We were at this location between 2018 and 2021. 1829 E. Indian School Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85016. We changed the name again to more accurately reflect our M with a focus on classical Chinese, French, and English Boxing: Black Sun Boxing. This is where we started to get more serious about filming content.*

~OP:
Wing Chun's first form, Siu Lim Tau.
小念頭 Properly Romanized "Siu Nim Tau" by both Yale and Jyutping standards. Often improperly Romanized Sil Lim Tau, Siu Lim Tao, and others.
While it is commonly translated as “little idea” the characters have a deeper meaning. Siu is plainly “small” or “little”, but nim is more than just “idea”. Nim is also “think of” or “study”. Tau means “first”, “top”, “head”, “chief” and indicates its place as the cornerstone of the system.
小Siu: small, tiny, insignificant
念Nim: think of, study
頭Tau: head, top, chief, first

Didn't even pull out the good camera. Just a quick, casual clip from a passing thought.
