- Chum Kiu trains the stance and the waist; the arm bridge is short and the step is narrow.
- Eyes are trained to be alert; the chi flows in a perpetual motion.
- Strive to remain calm in the midst of motion; loosen up the muscles and relax the mind.
- Turning the stance with a circular movement, will allow superior generation of power.
- When the opponent's arm bridge enters my arm bridge, use the escaping hand to turn around the situation.
- Pass by the opponent's incoming arm bridge from above, without stopping when the countering move has started.
- Lan Sau and Jip Sau put an opponent in danger.
- Do not collide with a strong opponent; with a weak opponent use a direct frontal assault.
- A quick fight should be ended quickly; no delay can be allowed.
- Use the three joints of the arm to prevent entry by the opponent's bridge; jam the opponent's bridge to restrict his movement.
- Create a bridge if the opponent's bridge is not present; nullify the bridge according to how it is presented.
- The arm bridge tracks the movement of the opponent's body; when the hands cannot prevail, use body position to save the situation.
- Using short range power to jam the opponent's bridge, the three joints are nicely controlled.
- Where is the opponent's bridge to be found? Chum Kiu guides the way.
