Hi there, does anyone know of any good techniques one can use to supplement the culivation of low elbow energy in place of partners to do dan chi/chi sau practice with? Any ideas are most welcome, thanks for your time.

Feel free to give your thoughts on to why having low elbow energy is useful in our martial arts system.

Practicing Siu Nim Tao is very good elbow-linking practice.

I have not done this, but others have had luck with rolling while attached to resistance bands.

Simply, the elbow-down is due to structure in how we face in WC. As Chunners, we develop power in a compact/close range. Elbow is linked to the hip no different than a boxer's is to his/her strikes - just a different take on the whole structure/power generation idea.

How about just bending your knees? That will develop Jang Dae Lik (Elbow Down Energy).

LOL!
