I learned something similar in SLT, not BJ, and the way I learned the motions described all the fundemental angles the bridge could be used to attack or defend without the fingers or elbow moving (just the wrist).

Thus, in bridge-to-bridge contact, you could redirect a strike from any angle without giving up the center, or when striking, could attack from any angle without giving it up.

Coming with that were the usual Yit Gan (tendon changing) benefits.

Every move should be useful in attack and defense, in highlight a concept, and in training the body to optimally realize the concept for the attack and defense.

Gives a good insight.

Im still not crazy about the wrist conditioning reasoning though.

Why not do 100 with each hand for about 3 months and then come back and write what you feel. Until then you really cannot understand what happens inside. I know TWC does not focus on that aspect so why not try. The wrist will strengthen and the Noi Gung will also start to develop. Sometimes different things not only have an application but a cultivation!

Empty Cup- biu jee is not just for hitting with fingers.
Plus- what Bruce Lee did with his fingers is irrelevant to wing chun- he didnt know biu jee.

Biu Gee is not a hard thrusting strike but a penetrating, ********y energy strike. One must have the proper Hei Gung in order to transmit energy and proper vibration to the fingers. One must also know the angle, direction, and points to strike. That is where the forms map them out for you. In Fut Sao Siu Lin Tao is not a basic form. Once one has progress through the system each form elevates the knowledge of the last. Once you've completed the system each form in itself contains all the concepts and laws of the whole system. Truth is truth and must be reflected in all your movements. As Siu Lin Tao states (Little, small, idea or transmutation) look inward. Bigger, outer techniques should evolve to a smaller more potent, purer technique. Refined to a fine vibrational point. The most powerful energy is the splitting of the atom. http://futsaoyongchunkuen.com/

If one pays close attention to the mantis fight story- he used biu and lop- and the guy went flying and then crumpled. That should tell you some things about biu jee.

Bruce lee's finger strike, fut sao's hei gong based biu--- far afield
IMO...but opinions can vary---ok by me.

Not always stories. Gin Foon Mark the Minneapolis based
southern mantis great can do amazing things with his fingers, his phoenix eye and ginger fist.

There are some wing chun folks who can do amazing things.

One doesnt walk up to Chen Xiao Wang and say- show me what you can do with a Chen elbow strike.

Then there are folks like Master Pan in Toronto-he with the built up knuckles. he is a bit more into show boating.


But first rate folks of some arts are not active on the net, do not brag about what they can do and not really interested in showing off.

Master Pan is in your backyard in Toronto. Central character in the movie Iron and Silk. Northern stylist, wushu coach etc.
Bangs his knuckles on iron every day. Good with kwan do and weapons.
