"With the Wing Chun pole, it is most important to drill the exercises completely separately. By focusing on the moves individually, and then later being able to link them up, one would have the complete picture. During certain exercises, one must coordinate the movement of the pole with either the stepping or rising and dropping of the stance. Too often, beginners in the Wing Chun pole use their arms alone, without also using body motion. One must pay close attention to extension and retraction, upwards and downwards, and balancing left and right. The proper coordination of the shoulder and pelvis, knees and elbows, hands and feet must be constantly observed."
