In wing chun, the wrists play a pivotal role in the execution of techniques and generating power. The wrists are used for both striking and controlling the opponent's limbs. The wrists need to be relaxed and sensitive to detect subtle movements and respond accordingly. | Wing Chun Club

The wing chun clinch is learned in the first wooden dummy form. It's applied by positioning the hand around the neck of the opponent, while keeping the elbow of the clinched arm tucked to maintain structure.
