The saam sing jong or three star dummy is a traditional training apparatus used predominately in the mainland China families of Wing Chun. Its primary purpose is to train dynamic balance, or balance in motion, in footwork and kicking technique. The jong was reportedly taught by the late grandmaster Yip Man to early, selected students, however there is little written evidence of this. Lo Man Kam, Yip mans nephew in Taiwan, and Leung Ting in Hong Kong, both include this jong in their training syllabus. To date there have been no definitive, recorded footwork or kicking patterns.
