Due to its unique properties, wood is widely used in martial arts equipment, and the wooden dummy is one of them.  In the Wing Chun boxing training, the wooden dummy is used as simulated opponents for practicing.  The body, arms, and legs of the wooden dummy are pre-calculated according to the Wing Chun moves, which can help practitioners adjust the posture and angle of the moves.

Master Wang Zhipeng, the founder of the Beijing Yiquan Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy described how he became attached to Wing Chun, introduced different versions and purposes of wooden dummies, and demonstrated all 108 moves on the wooden dummy.
