Pak Sau
I think, under Yip Man lineage, the most common way of dealing with a fast jab is to use pak sau (a kind of sideways palm slapping block).
This is often done as pak da (ie. pak sau and punch as one motion), which helps negate the second strike from your opponent. I'm sure other guys will say this also, but every strike can be dealt with in a mulititude of ways depending on speed, strength, and angle of attacker.
Pak Sau would be a generic response against a fairly straight and fast punch. It's application is fast and requires little movement from the WC guard position. As with all WC deflections, it can lead to a bevy of counter attacks, whether used on inside or outside gates.
Anyone else have any ideas?
