Hello,
Im tring to find informaton on GAN-SAU like done in first form. I'm glad this site exist.
Definition from nice website (http://www.lianyee.com/english/wg_voc_e.htm)
GAAN-SAU : Splitting-block/Cultivating-hand
GAN-SAU : cutting down
I dont understand the 2 definitons of splitting-block or cultivating-hand and cutting down hand. What does it mean splitting and what does mean cultivating. Someone told me cultivating mean farming plowing but i dont see how lineal motion in a form can be described by a non linear plowing motion. I use to work on farm. i can see how gan sau could cutdown in the slt, but how should it look like? I did a search online and found these -
example 1 (http://www.wingchun.org/viewpt/v2p7n6.jpg)
example 2 (http://www.wingchunnyc.com/techniques/pictures/slt/0448.htm)
example 3 (http://www.wingchunkwoon.com/images/gansao_f.jpg)
I also found these -
posible ex of cuting down
using double gan sau to block a kick. (http://www.combatcentres.com/tech_03.html)
gan su against sidekick (http://www.wingchunnyc.com/techniques/java_animations/lb_g.htm) - in this example the guy used low right gan sau, but didnt make contact. why do it in the first place.
most important is for me to get the idea in the form. I understand applicatons vary. thank you experts! Drac
