    chi sau techniques?

    hello friends! although we should train ourselves to switch techniques often according to the situation, we still tend to hang on to that one technique that always "just comes out"-sometimes we are risky and attempt it no matter what! So what is your favorite technique? please describe and why! XD p.s. mine is fook sau hand crosses over under my bong/taan hand to laap da! just cant seem to shake that move.

    Description:

    - Use your left hand to grab on your opponent's right arm.
    - Use your right hand to grab on his left arm.
    - Tuck his left arm under his right arm.
    - Release your right left arm grip and punch at his face.

    Why?

    If you can "tuck" your opponent's left arm under his own right arm, and use one hand to control both of his arms, you will have one free hand to punch while he has no free arm to block it.

    Defense, defense, and more defense; it’s nothing like shutting down your partner’s attempts defensively, and within the infancy of one’s attacks/attempts.

    Offense, offense, and more offense! There's nothing like taking charge!

    Neither, Neither, and more Neither! Miyamoto Musashi teaches us that defensive and offensive are both unreliable. It is best to keep a void spirit.

    What lineage are you, Chin?

    It is very important to receive the correct and secret teaching in all of Wing Chun.

    Lucky for you, I have just made a video demonstrating the indisputably correct ways of conducting Chi Sao.

    I would agree with this if ‘Chi Sao’ was actual fighting, but it’s more about structural/energy and timing development, therefore why waste your time in just throwing a lot of strikes before developing a strong sense of defense.

    Anyone can throw a punch, but can you stop one when it really counts. And if you’re too busy just throwing a bunch of punches, you would have to have a strong chin to stop all of those counterattacks from one that has a very strong defensive skill set.

    Or, why not just lie down and go to sleep before you even start throwing strikes? Because you will get countered hard by someone with better defensive skills.

    I don't have set motions I do Regardless of what my opponent is doing. My motions adapt to my opponent. Sometimes i might make a mistake with timing or posistioning or even utilize the wrong technique at the wrong time...But for the most part there is NOT a set techinque i use. I go by what i feel my opponent doing when engaged in freestyle chi sau!

    Actually he also said, "Think neither of victory nor of yourself but only of cutting and killing your enemy". And not with a book.

    A call to offense, I think.

    the Key you seek...IS PRACTICE, more Practice...Chi Sau, Drilling and more sparring...over time those few moves that are engrained in you will multiple into other techniques...When you are comfortable with many different techniques then your motions will flow naturally!!!!
