In power and energy terms the Baat Cham Dao are the dumb bells of the Wing Chun system. They develop the specific muscles in the wrists, arms, upper body, back, waist and legs associated with delivering power/energy. By learning to deliver power beyond the physical extent of the hand or leg this training expands and improves that which was developed in the previous boxing forms. In conjunction with Saam Bok Ma (Triangle stepping) footwork the practice of the form adds a new dimension to the Wing Chung practicioner's movement and ability to deliver power and energy. The 8 cutting broad swords or butterfly knives are in fact arm length broadsword and the form consists of eight sections.
