Step 1
Use an uppercut, much like in boxing, when your opponent moves in to strike. You should keep your elbows close to your body and open your palm in tan sao. With your fingers close together, push up into the chest or chin of the opponent. Keep your elbow bent and close to the body to conserve energy and send the power through your hand.

Step 2
Learn how to make a sun fist, which is one of the most powerful forms with which to send a Wing Chun uppercut. Use the bottom three knuckles on your hand. This way, you can concentrate the energy to the force of the punch without having to worry about injuring your wrist. It should be close to the impact and held straight.

Step 3
Keep your elbow bent downward when delivering an uppercut in wing Chun style. With your elbow bent downward, you can bring more strength and speed to the uppercut punch. Stay with the uppercut line of the punch, bringing the most power to the move.

Step 4
Turn around while holding your opponent's arm and send an uppercut from the waist upwards toward his chin. Unlike boxing, which sends the uppercut from a lowered arm position, Wing Chun preserves the energy and puts the most force in your elbow. Coupled with the energy of the opponent's move toward or away from you, exert much more force in a quicker, more explosive manner with a waist-high uppercut from behind.
