(Bar hand) 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

Liu Ban Dian 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.
