Movement Characteristics of Yongchun Quan
（一）简单实用性 Simple Practicality
咏春拳的内容比较简单，整个拳术只有小念头、寻桥、标指三个套路以及木人桩，每个套路都比较简短，并且所有的技术动作都包含在小念头套路中，共25手，5分钟就可以完成所有动作。咏春拳的手形主要是凤眼拳和柳叶拳，手法以三傍手为主，步形和步法也很简单。这些基本动作任意组合便构成了许多组合拳、组合手法、腿法等技击动作以及木人桩技术动作。此外，咏春拳擅长近身搏击，其招式多变、运用灵活、善发寸劲，用最简单的动作完成最直接的进攻，因此，咏春拳具有很强的实用性。咏春拳马步灵活、起落快速、左右兼顾，善于以小挫大、以弱胜强，主要以双手整体进攻、集中歼敌的“来留去送”和“甩手直冲”的打法给予对手制约和打击。这种双手兼顾、一鼓作气的快攻，手似刀剑，同出同入，连打带削形成多面手进攻优势，在以一打多的形势下不落下风。李小龙创立的截拳道也吸纳了咏春拳简单实用的特点，具有很强的实战性。
