That is what Chi Sao is, isn't it. Just hand chasing? In order to bridge and control ones hands you pretty much have to stay close to them, and that probably requires you to chase them now and then. It is a form of hand grappling really, and it is easier to do on someone that has no clue as to what the heck you are doing.

As terrible as it might look, the big question here is, can you whip either one of them?

Chi Sao is intended to develop sensitivity to an opponent's movement in order to dial in reactions. One of the major aspects of Wing Chun is sensing your opponent's energy so that you can deflect or redirect it in order to create the opportunity for a strike. It looks like hand chasing because one participant makes a move and the other moves to counter it. The intent is not to actually strike your opponent but learn how to create and destroy opportunities.

As to whipping either of them, well they wouldn't be using Chi Sao in a real altercation...

Hi

No imo chi sau is not chasing hands at all! I'm attacking the person not his hands (in training) there's no point looking for someones hands when I can actually exploit his center which in this example of chi sau both their centers are totally open!

With regard to your comment about "can I whip either one of them" with regard to yip ching hes an old man what a crazy question. Regard to sam kwok yes in about 2 seconds if I had to!

ps here is a link to a video showing chi sau and general Ving Tsun in action and as its supposed to be Simple Direct and Efficient! unlike the sam kwok video. Im not a student of Bayer at all just using it as an example of how its supposed to be done keeping it real!

Hi, gotta agree with Jim on this clip.

"Top level", ummmm....

What happened to attack the body not the hands?

Whats with all the "golden palming", using palm as bridge rather than forearm, not a good strategy imo.

No wonder people from different arts look at these kind of clips and shake their heads...

An even better question is are you putting yourself in a position to be a fight promoter between Internet posters and elderly men?

how can you tell see if someone has structure or not since structure can look like anything or nothing and in some cases can be.

Hi hobbs.. Ive see vids from your school. Good stuff . You guys have structure, but my point about structure is it cant be seen but can be felt. Some people think stucture is the way you hold a tan sao a certain way, but its not. Structure can look like anything. Because its noy in the way iy looks.

Didn't like the knife defense or much of the gate changing going from outside gate to inside gate for no apparent reason than trying to look fast not for me imo. If i had the knife he would be cut to shreds to be honest. Still light years ahead of Sam kwok.
