Kuen Kuit are two Chinese words meaning idioms of a martial art. Used separately, "kuen" means style of martial art and "kuit" means idiom or song. Being short and rythmic verses, Kuen Kuit are easy to remember. Many styles of martial arts use Kuen Kuit for expressing simply and concisely the basic ideology of their art. The stone "chops" below (each with a different Kuen Kuit) were carved by Sigung Moy Yat. These "chops" shown here are just a few of the many "chops" carved by Sigung Moy Yat. |

"Biu Je." There are three parts to the Biu Je form. These embody the concept of Chum Jang -- the cut back to the centerline. This is the central concept of Biu Je, to be able to quickly return to the centerline. This is also known as Gow Gup Sao - First Aid Hand. This hand is used in conjunction with Huen Ma. It is a stepping stone for people who are about to learn the Mui Fah Jong. |
"Mui Fah Jong." The Mui Fah Jong, also referred to as the Muk Yan Jong, resembles the body of a person with outstretch limbs. The form is comprised of 108 techniques. Made of Toa Muk wood, we also call it Jong Sun (body of wood). |

"Luk Dim Boon Kwan." Luk Dim Boon Kwan, literally 6 1/2 point pole, uses the shoulder as the centerline. The power from the long bridge of the two arms is concentrated into one point and is shot out to the different positions called for by the form. It employs only six and one half techniques; the last of which being the half which is a rapid downward movement from the chest. |
"Bot Jom Doa." Bot Jom Doa literally means "Eight Way chopping knives." There are eight parts or techniques. The blade of each knife is one chinese foot in length (a little longer than one foot). The first section of the form is Chum ("chop") Biu ("Thrust") to the centerline four times with each knife. This technique is of the highest level in Ving Tsun and is rarely taught. |
