The muk yan jong set varies from 108 to 116 movements and from student to student. Typically, the sequence of the first sixty movements is performed virtually identically among each of Yip Man’s students, whilst the remaining motions vary among the disciples. With the set, practitioners learn how to adjust their steps, develop power and closing skills, take the “proper” line, and how to use hand/foot combinations.

Practice of the da san jong (free-style dummy) encompasses breaking the set down into its applications in setting-up an opponent and the proper context in which to do so. Practitioners learn to juxtapose the sequence to develop their minds to vary and spontaneously change their tactics as needed.

Hong jong (air dummy) practice involves doing the set in the air, without the physical dummy, and allows the practitioner to learn to combine techniques, flow freely, and later to “shadow box.”

The use and applications of the movements or mai sang jong (making the dummy come to life), involves practicing the techniques of the dummy set against a live partner.
