Luk Dim Boon Kwun – Six And A Half Point Pole
THE KEY CONCEPTS, TECHNIQUES, AND METHODS OF WING CHUN — MADE CLEAR
Short Definition
The Luk Dim Boon Kwun (Six and a Half Point Pole) is Wing Chun’s long-range weapon form, designed to develop power, structure, precision, and whole-body connection. It teaches how to generate force through the stance and hips while maintaining stability under pressure.
ABOUT THE LUK DIM BOON KWUN
What Is the Six and a Half Point Pole?
The pole form is based on seven key actions: six full striking/defensive concepts and a “half point,” which is the final recovery or redirection movement. Techniques are straight, powerful, and direct — no spinning or sweeping motions.
Why the Pole Matters in Wing Chun
Pole training massively strengthens the stance and structure. Because the weapon is heavy, it forces you to generate power from the body rather than the arms, improving stability, rooting, and forward drive.
What the Pole Teaches
The Luk Dim Boon Kwun develops:
Whole-body power generation
Distance and angle control
Hip-driven striking
Structural alignment
Stability under pressure
These qualities directly enhance empty-hand Wing Chun, especially punching power and turning strength.
Pole in Forms and Training
This form is commonly learned after Biu Tze and the Wooden Dummy. Training includes thrusting drills, stepping drills, pressure testing, and partner exercises that build interception skills and force redirection.
