Baat Jaam Dao (Eight-Cut Knives) is a traditional advanced Form, historically used in battlefield combat. In the modern era, though its practicality has diminished, it remains a valuable training tool to develop efficiency, precision, adaptability, structural integrity, and coordination of Body, Energy and Mind.

I t also helps to preserve the philosophical, traditional and cultural aspects of the martial art. However, its limited practice today may lead to the decline in transmitting advanced Wing Chun skills. While not widespread, Baat Jaam Dao's principles can still be adapted for modern self-defense (e.g. using double short sticks instead) ensuring its relevance in contemporary martial arts. Hence, Sao Lim Wing Chun Kung Fu is embarking on this mission to upkeep the relevance of Baat Jaam Dao, starting with this EBook.
