THE FIVE ELEMENTS

THE FIVE ELEMENT SYSTEM PHILOSOPHY

Sifu Lam makes it clear that at this point in the training it is important that the student learn to sink his or her chi. That is to say that one should sink one’s center of energy so that striking derives its power from the ground and not the shoulders.

These five elements are: speed, distance, timing, changing and power or, according to the Five Element Theory, fire, earth, wood, water and metal, respectively.
