The Eight Kicks of Wing Chun

[k gledhill]

Yes I see what you have shown me...In short just because chi means stick and sau means hand...You are not actually to stick to the opponent?

So in other words you use your WC as a long range fighting style? and not close combat?

forgive me for me ignorant but im trying to understand. Because when I see phillip bayer do chi sau with the young man and do demostrations he is sticking to him? I see his drills emphasizing the stick...

Maybe I have a different definition of stick to your opponent than you do?

As for sticky leg? Do you really think its possible to stick to someones leg or arm the entire time?

He isnt sticking he is trying to HIT the guy using arm positions that equalize the partners HIT back ...each partner is exchanging force and also developing their structures to support the forces to damage with punches.
The drill looks to outsiders like two guys rolling arms like driving a car ..wrong. Or trying to use arms to feel and negate each others attempts to land cheap shots
NO !
The drills start by developing elbows to become part of a striking duality tan & Jum ...a chain of events in our fighting methods, then they progress to lat sao chit chung drills, deliberately allowing each other to be hit and hit back to prove force or not....adding striking force exchanges WITH the previously introduced elbow ideas...
Then we add exchanges to interceptions, punches , pak, jut, bong, laap sao drills for further developing force development punch conditioning...we also have stepping and angling for tactical intuitive responses involving motion to force entry at us , randomly later...so it becomes our SOUL or developing mindless intuitive reactions with ..


do you follow ?

Yet and still you follow or shadow your opponent. When he moves back you move forward. when you push him back with your structure you advance. You do not allow him a gap. You stick to close quarters space so you can continuely use your strucutre and angling to attack while he is unable to attack right?


i like what you said here!
