In your sig you say this:

Kim sut, Lok ma, Ting yu, Dung tao, Mai Jiang - if you don't practice these 5 guidelines, then you aren't doing wing chun.


Can you translate those into English for me?

Thanks.

You can read more about it in this article

Short:

* Kim sut -- Hips and knees pressing together.

* Lok ma -- Lower the stance downward, sinking through the knees.

* Ting yu -- Back straight

* Dung tao -- Head up, neck relaxing into the shoulders

* Mai jiang -- Pressing the elbows inward and forward
