Muk Yan Jong

Wikipedia

 
The Muk Yan Jong (?????????; pinyin: m??r??nzhu??ng; Yale_Romanization#Cantonese|Yale Cantonese: muk6 yan4 jong1; literally "wooden man post") is a dummy used in the practice of Chinese martial arts.
It is associated with the martial arts of Southern China and especially Wing Chun.

The muk yan jong has three arms and one leg, which represents an opponent's body in various positions.
The wooden slats on which the muk yan jong is traditionally mounted have a springiness that is similar to a human opponent's involuntary reaction and allows the user to practice absorbing energy into his stance.

Practicing with the muk yan jong should involve the use of the whole body.
All of the principles evident in the three Wing Chun routines should also be evident in muk yan jong practice.

Traditionally made from wood, muk yan jong can now be made from steel and plastic.
No matter what material is used, it is still called a "wooden man post."

Jackie Chan can be seen training on a steel muk yan jong in Gorgeous and on a wooden muk yan jong in Rumble in the Bronx (near the start of the movie).
