Grandmaster Wong leads the class in rolling forward with the Bow-Arrow Stance

One often hear people saying that “ma-bu” is very important, but not many realize that “ma-bu” refers not just to the Horse-Riding Stance or stances in general. There are actually two concepts in the term, namely “ma” and “bu”.

“Ma” refers to stances, and “bu” to footwork. Hence, it is not sufficient that we train our stances, but also our footwork, thus manifesting the yin-yang harmony of the term. In other words, we should not only be solid, which our stance training will bring, but also be agile, which comes from good footwork.
