Kiu Sau in the HFY system is a level of training before learning Chi Sau. The primary focus is on learning to use the forearms to engage with an opponent before making wrist to wrist contact. Training begins with simple reaction to a stimulus from several angles/locations and then progresses into developing structure and skill.
There seems to be a connection between HFY Kiu Sau and Chi Sim Kiu Sau but it will take more time to ascertain the level of connection. This is very interested as both lineages' oral history state that their systems originated in the Weng Chun Tong of the Southern Shaolin Temple.
Interesting Iron Ox Southern Mantis uses Kiu sau too and i think Hung Gar does too i think I wonder what connection if there are any there would be between Iron Ox Southern Mantis Kiu Sau and Hung Fa Yi Wing Chuns Kiu Sau ?
