The Hidden Power of Siu Nim Tau by Tsui Sheung Tin (aka Chu Shong Tin)
Chu Shong Tin
Like every beginner in class, I started my journey with Siu Nim Tau, even though I had already familiarized myself with the form as an observer. It took me little effort to completely learn the basic movements. I then began to wonder about the essence of the form, besides the hand movements. I went to Yip and inquired about the meaning of Siu Nim Tau, especially the non-combative tone in the name. Yip replied: "This is about Lop Nim -- to establish an idea in the mind". I am sure most of my peers have also heard about this term. Yip also added that it required prolonged practice of this form to truly master the essence of lop nim.
