Ian Protheroe - The Traditional Wing Chun Wooden Dummy

Ian Protheroe outlines the contents and form of the wooden dummy as taught by William Cheung pre-1987, when major changes took place. His mission is to teach and preserve the true traditional dummy form, saying that anything after 1987 can't be traditional as too many changes occurred in the form.
