Ving Tsun | Secrets of Siu Nim Tao (English & Portuguese explanation)

First video of the series: Trilogy of the System Ving Tsun. Video very well explained, by master Leo Imamura, about Siu Nim Tao, who is the pillar of the Ving Tsun system. This is the first and most important form of the Ving Tsun System. It is said that all Ving Tsun is contained within this form and all the drills and exercises are to help us find this understanding. Siu Nim Tao is the seed that helps the student build a good foundation in Kung Fu and establishes the basics necessary to learn other forms. Siu Nim Tao translates directly from Cantonese Chinese as “Little Idea of the Beginning.” This tells us that the beginning kung fu student has only to remember a little at a time. If you give too much kung fu in the beginning, the student will not be able to focus on what they are supposed to be learning. Understanding and practicing the basics is most important even for advanced students. Siu Nim Tao is the foundation and establishes the basics necessary to learn other forms.
