You more than likely have seen a Wing Chun Muk Jong at some point in your life. Some people will refer to the Muk Jong as a wooden man or wooden dummy.

Sometimes you might see the word Muk spelled Mook. This amazing tool is often times misunderstood. I’ve heard people say things like wood doesn’t hit back, etc.

While the Wing Chun Muk Jong doesn’t hit back, the lessons you can learn from him are life changing.

As long as you are willing to learn and listen, the mysteries of the universe will unfold before your eyes. Okay maybe not… However, you really can learn a lot by training with a wooden dummy.

I was just checking recently and realized we uploaded a few good muk jong beginner training videos. If you haven’t had a chance to check them all out you can do that now. 🙂

Check out Sifu Phu Ngo using one of our wooden dummy training sequences:

When you are using the Muk Jong you are only limited by your imagination. Once you learn the basic sequences you can mix and match them however you like.

See this Muk Jong training where Sifu Phu demonstrates a pak tan dar training sequence:

Doing these types of drills helps build muscle memory in your technique. Repetition is the ultimate teacher. By constantly training simple drills like this, you will stand a better chance of using your technique properly in a real life situation.

Learn energy projection with this wooden dummy training:

One of the harder things to practice as a solo practitioner with no partners is proper energy projection. Using a wooden dummy helps you to learn this important skill without a partner.

Check out how you can use your Muk Jong to build muscle memory:

If you don’t own a Muk Jong and are thinking about getting one, brand new they cost around $800 to $1200. I’ve seen them go for as little as $400 on Ebay, Craigslist, etc.

You can even just buy the arms and attach them to your own base. If you look around you can even find creative solutions for under $200. We’ve even had a few members make their own jong!

Muk Jongs are also great for working on your kicks:

Having a powerful kick is just as important as having a powerful punch. While you can train kicks in the air, on heavy bags, etc. Having a muk jong to train your kicks on, adds a whole other element to your training. Sure you could practice on a tree, but you won’t quite get the same experience.
