About The Art of Mook Yan Jong

A New Approach to Wing Chun Wooden Dummy Training

The Art of Mook Yan Jong was founded to bring a completely new understanding of the wooden dummy into the modern Wing Chun world.

Instead of treating the dummy as a striking post or a memorized form, this system transforms it into a neurological training tool—one that builds tactile intelligence, structural clarity in training, a comprehensive “vocabulary of movements,” rooted in traditional martial principles.

Every drill, touch, and angle are designed to activate the practitioner’s mechanoreceptors, developing faster reaction time, precise force pathways, and deeper sensitivity.

About Branko Knezevic — Founder and Instructor

Branko developed The Art of Mook Yan Jong after decades of studying traditional Wing Chun and reconstructing how the wooden dummy was originally intended to train the nervous system—not just outside form of some techniques.

His work focuses on:

  • Tactile-sensory development
  • Structural alignment and force economy
  • Pressure adaptation
  • Continuous touch and flow
  • Intuitive sense of energy transfer

 

Branko’s unique ability to translate complex tactile concepts into simple, repeatable drills led to the creation of a full training system unlike anything found in other Wing Chun lineages.

What Makes This Method Different

1. One-Arm Wooden Dummy Method

A complete beginner pathway found only here. This method teaches:

  • How force travels from wrist → hand
  • Micro-adjustments during transitions
  • Foundational tactile clarity
  • Correct structural alignment


This foundational stage does not exist in other systems.

2. Two-Arm Flow Drills

Developing:

  • Bilateral coordination
  • Pressure reading (tactile discrimination in hands)
  • Multi-directional control
  • Stepping and turning

 

This approach emphasizes the principle and idea that every muscle, every joint, every inch of your body is one complex coordinated system.

3. Full Mook Yan Jong Form Training

The form becomes a neurological blueprint, not choreography:

  • Energy pathways
  • Angular economy
  • Tactical timing
  • Structural refinement
