How long did it take YOU to get to chi sau fighting?

[cha kuen]

I know the progress of a student depends on how hard they work and how fast they pick up things.....but I am wondering for all the wc guys out here:

How long did it take YOU to get to double sticky hand sparring?


Thanks. Good luck on finals for whoever's in my age group!!

Chi sau is NOT fighting. The sooner you realize that, the better you'll get at it.

Chi Sau is an sensitivity exercise. pracitice in this can help you in sparring, but it can not replace sparring.

well why dont we just get anal about the question eh?

Cha kuen, some schools, not many, but some start chi sau off straight away! But this is rare. At my 1st school it took the normal person about 4 months to get to chi sau.

At my second one i know people that had been there for 18 months and had not started chi sau.
