UJh mortised hole s at the upper and lower ends 'Of 'the trunk, 111 I'I1¥'I ...... b . are fixed. onto 'two perpendicular square pillars, called .. ft,ftl"YOf·n plllan. Th 6 su,pporting pillars are usually rrrm]y fixed 'on I r t . g:t'OUnd~1 so as, to stand heavy strikes.

the Wing Tsun MUK YAN C1/01VG literally means '":4. Stake , A D~mmJ!". In 0 ther words, it: takes; the place of an imagined r pp onent of the kung-fu driller,
