Koo Sang
Koo Sang is an important individual in the history of the modern Wing Chun clan. While a few people had made small numbers of dummies it was never enough to cover the growing demand. Further, it is simply impossible to teach the Wing Chun system without access to a dummy.
Koo took careful measurements of Fung Shek’s original jong and he replicated these in his own work. While Fung and Ho had relatively short manufacturing careers Koo proved to be both much more successful and stable. Compared to his predecessors he produced a huge number of dummies over a period of decades. In fact, he didn’t retire form from the Wing Chun dummy business until the 1990s. (1995)
Not only did he make a lot of dummies, but he made them very well. In fact, in some Wing Chun circles today Koo Sang’s dummies are still the standard by which all others are judged.
