Many of the clips that you see on the net make chi sau look really tight and impressive, and I guess that has put it in my mind that when I perform Chi sau it should be looking like it does on the clips.
However, when I do chi sau (granted i haven't been doing it very long) it doesn't look anything like it does on the clips, a lot messier, at lot more resisting, and just a lot more like fighting, I guess.
I guess there are two reasons for this, 1 I am not very good at it, and 2, most of the time the clips are just demonstrations of chi sau drills, or they are of people who are very experienced (i.e. teachers) demostrating on students.
So is real chi sau messy or am I doing something wrong?
