(Bar arm) Found in the fourth section of Siu-Nim-Tou, after the last Gam Sau, and before the Fong Sau. The Laan Sau is a good tool to use to absorb incoming force, and also works well as a weapon, used to strike the head, ribs, arms, and legs, such as striking the knees in a knee attack to the head. It is also found in Cham Kiu. Photo(s): Form Example

Liang Lian | Leung Lin | Loeng Lin |
(Pair (of) Drills) The pair of drills utilizes Pak Sau and Kyun (punching) to teach beginners how to cover the center line. It is repetitive in nature, much like Chi Sau, and the timing drills are added to learn how to work against a variety of attacks. It is not found in all systems of Wing Chun.

Liu Ban Diam Gan | Luk Bun Dim Gon | Luk Bun Dim Gon |
(Six-and-a-half point pole) The Wing Chun pole form. Luk Dim Boon Kwan would translate to mean "Six point and a half pole," so I have reorganized my translation to match that of the traditional translation.
