Just to expand my understanding in Chi sau I have the following question.
In my lineage the chi sau is used with forward intention not fysically pushing. So the first thing is to have control over your partner and seek the gaps.
Now when I look at the WSL people they have a forward pressure as for practising their punches. They don't train to control their partner just attack if they feel the opening.
I think they both have their good points, but I want to hear the pro's and con's of each type of training. Maybe that some of the WSL people can explain what they think is the great benifit of their chi sau. Or what they train for while pushing (only the punches or is there more)
I would also like to hear the disadvantages of each type of chi sau if there are any.
Best regards
