Origin of the Longpole
The longpole (Luk Dim Bun Gwan, 6.5 points Longpole) with its exceptional form is the specialty of the Tang Family. Parts of this form, however, are practiced in all Wing Chun styles.
Due to their virtuosity, power and speed, the members of the Tang Family were called the Kings of the Longpole. In addition to the longpole form, there is the Longpole Wooden Dummy, which was also transferred by the Tang Family to today’s Siu Lam Wing Chun.
