The Luk Dim Boon Kwan (6 1/2 point pole) form uses a long tapered pole, known as the ’sue mai kwan’ or ‘rat’s tail pole’. Traditionally the pole was approximately 12 feet long. Today, the average sue mai kwan is 8 to 10 feet long.
Like the rest of the Wing Chun system, the Luk Dim Poon Kwan form is free of fancy movements. The objectives of the luk dim Poon Kwan form is to help teach the student use of a long weapon, but more importantly, it helps to develop power, balance, and point energy.
