uk dim boon gwun (liu dian ban gun, six-and-a-half-point-pole) teaches the concepts of a long handled, single ended weapon. The single headed pole used in wing chun is 7'2" in Chinese measure, and is thinner at the striking end. It is held with the hands shoulder-width apart and is never spun nor twirled but employs motions that require the practitioner to send power from their structure, through the wood, out the striking point, and into the target.

Rather then the standard wing chun postures, pole training incorporates horses like the quadrilateral level horse and “T” shaped horse. Pole techniques include six-and-a-half simple points like dispelling, spearing, whipping, two-motion, water-dripping, circling & pointing, and barring, and several extrapolations such as side-to-side, “blind-man-walks-alley”, fanning, etc. that cover all basic angles for both offense and defense. These are trained in form, using training devices such as balls suspended on string, small objects scattered on the floor and later with partners in drills, both structured and free-style.
