This video is aimed predominantly at new students to Wing Chun. This is how to set up the Wing Chun guard.

The Wing Chun guard is a triangular shape, it’s base being the body and side the arms pointing along your centreline to the opponents centreline.

When lifting your arms up, rise with your upper arm and curve your arms into the guard position rather than bending directly at the elbow joints. Rising your curved arms tends to keep your elbow joint open and doesn’t restrict the flow of your forward thought.
