"The correct elbow position serves a special function within Wing Chun; they are utilised in conjunction with the knees and hips to generate and direct power in the hand structures. Ensuring the arm is not over-extended or held too close tothe body therefore rendering it inefficient, possibly even ineffective, is absolutely crucial. The “fixed elbow position”, in conjunction with the correct forearm angle, ensures that an opponent’s force is efficiently redirected towards the ground whilst maintaining a sufficient amount of body cover."
