「小念頭」是詠春派拳術三套拳種之一，也是最先練習的基礎套拳。特色是整個身驅在靜止狀態中利用雙手姿態架構，產生最大的攻擊力及被攻擊時最強的承受力。小心分析則可察覺每一招式均符合力學的要求，故被視為詠春拳最重要的基本套拳。練習小念頭必須專心，不可有半點隨便循例的心態。假如能準確地掌握小念頭每一招式的用力技巧，明白招式架構的作用，熟習後配合「尋橋」和「標指」來運用，便可將自己的體能盡量發揮，沒有力不從心，枉耗氣力的弊病。
Tiny Idea is one of the three form-sets of the Wing Chun martial art. It is the foundational form-set to begin with. Its emphasis is on maintaining a motionless state of the body, only with the two arms actively shaping into different form structures; yet the power so attained is enormously destructive in offence and strongly sustaining in defence. A closer look reveals that every form taps maximally on the principles of mechanics – endowing Tiny Idea with the essence of being the most important basic form-set.
