What is the proper name in chinese for the Wing Chun wooden dummy? I'm not really interested in dummies from any other style, just WC. Does it literally translate to Wooden dummy or is it Wooden Man? Is it mook jong or mook yan jong or Muk jong or what? I am really confused.
I saw a fella with a shirt that had "Mook" on the front of it and a picture of the three stooges on the back. If it's the right translation I want to make a shirt with "Mook" on the front & "Jong" on the back with a picture of a wooden dummy.
Help! :confused:

"Forfeit the game
Before somebody else takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast,
You just won't last!"

I think you missed the satirical intent that was plastered all over that T-shirt - the mook yan jong must be a *total* stooge to just stand there and take a pounding like that (day after day after day after day...)

Then again, the 3 Stooges were pretty hard core bil jiu practitioners...
