Taolu

Taolu is a virtual and mixed reality game where you train with a wooden dummy used in martial arts. The dummy is associated with styles including Wing Chun, Hung Gar, Chow Li Fut and Shaolin, and has been used for well over 2,000 years. Training focuses on developing structure, position and sensitivity, alongside balance, accuracy, coordination, agility, timing, mobility, speed, flow and power.

Training modes

Taolu has five modes:

• Time: test your reactions, enter flow mode to earn extra points and climb the global ranking.
• Precision: set your own pace while aiming for accurate hits in the right direction.
• Survival: see how long you can train without missing a hit; each run is different.
• Wing Chun: train in a mode based on the Wing Chun style as performed by Ip Man.
• Free: practise with the wooden dummy however you choose.

Fitness and focus

Training can be used for fitness and stress management. Proper practice enhances reflexes and focus, and increases stamina, energy, cardiovascular endurance and strength.
