What training equipment is used in a kung fu school?
Two training tools commonly used in Ving Tsun schools are the sao bow, a sand bag for punching, and the muk yan jong, a wooden dummy. Schools with yards sometimes also have a field of gerk jong, wooden poles and stumps used for moving and kicking exercises. Kung fu is generally not trained with props that are commonly used in other martial arts such as padded floors and protective body armor.
