A NOTE ON CANTONESE
I use the ‘Jyut Ping’ (粵拼) Cantonese writing system as I have found it to be the most accurate.
For an excellent way to learn Cantonese pronunciation, see Fluent Forever. For a dictionary see CantoDict or use the Hanping Cantonese App for Android.
INTRO
THE 4 WRIST POSITIONS OF PRACTICAL WING CHUN ARE:
- Neutral Position (e.g. SNT Taan Sau)
- Wrist Flexion (e.g. SNT Fuk Sau)
- Wrist Extension (e.g. SNT Wu Sau)
- Ulnar Deviation (e.g. BZ Teoi Wun)

- Every move will end on one of these 4 wrist positions
