Thread: Mantis Chi Sau/Push Hands

    Mantis Chi Sau/Push Hands

    I've heard that Mantis does have sensitivity drills like Wing Chun's Chi Sau and Tai Chi's Push Hands. Is this true?

    I practise 8-Step Mantis, is there such an exercise that exists for my style? If not which styles do use sensitivity drills?

    Many thanks,

    S

    Beside the Partnerdrill and Basic Chim Nim Sau (contakt and sticky hands) there could be a free sensitiv-drill of the same name and with the same goal.

    But thats up to the teacher I think!

    Could you explain the basic movements of sticky hands? My teacher has talked about it before but I've never practised it.

    Best thing is do is to ask your instructor.
    Really.

    I know a lot of things.
    You won't like me in person either.
    Confused?? Don't be.

    Chi Sau...

    I have always been impressed and fascinated by 8 Step's 2 men stuff (ie Qi Shou, Pai An, and Lipi). I have not seen their Chi Sau though. So would some one share something about this?

    Thanks

    That is a nice example.

    Here is a variation:

    - You use right back palm to strike your opponent's face.
    - He blocks with his right arm.
    - You hook his right wrist - use short force so the hook does not go far back.
    - Strike your left leaking palm at his face.
    - He blocks with his left hand.
    - You leak under and reblock his left blocking hand with your right palm, setting up his right to become trapped with his left.
    - Hook his left wrist with your left inside dieu, and
    - Strike direct to his face with your right reverse dieu.

    Lather, rinse, repeat

    Just Do It...

    Black Mantis,

    One way to begin this drill is to set up with bridge arms in contact the begin a quarter speed attack known to both of you. (It should be one that remains in contact with the bridge arm or changes bridge arm contact). Then let him give a counter or defense, you respond, then he responds. Begin the attack again and let him try variations on the defense. You respond then he responds. Eventually you will be attacking and defending in the sticking hand range.

    Guidelines would be to remain in definable Tanglang stances and use Tanglang techniques.

    It can be great fun and instructive.
