"Train diligently and understand. Explore every movement while sticking to a partner and your teacher is there to correct you. If you have no partner and no teacher a mirror and wooden dummy can aid you. Keep your eyes angry imagine your enemy. The method is from the ancestors, the key is adapting to conditions. Understand all this and you will never meet with failure."
Author unknown. Text made up of various Wing Chun sayings
