Re: Chi Sau -That Push thing??

Hi,
I was watching some clips of WSL doing Chi sau and in the clips he pauses mid roll and pushes his structure against the other person.
Do any other lines do this too?... im just asking becasue, I thought a continious roll was how chi sau should be practiced.
What is the reason behind moving the body back and forth when doing chi sau?
(This is not ment to be disrespectful of the different methods, im just curious as to the reason)
A possible, perhaps likely explanation is that doing Chi Sao that way is training for the partner who receives the force. Likely, the other person in the video was a student of his, and WSL trained him that way to force him to tire (his muscles) and then to rely on structure. WSL was playing with him.
