Chi Sau is the soul of Wing Chun. It requires coordinated movement of different body parts and timing that takes years of consistent training to develop. It is a separate skill from fighting and separates the talker from the doer. You can be good at Chi Sau but a lousy fighter, vice versa or good at both. The power in Chi Sau comes from the ground and the way to plug into that power is to use the structure described in my structure and principles clips. This creates an upward lift so the small guy can move a large opponent without physical muscle power. The important principles in Chi Sau are structure maintenance, constant forward pressure, one hand controls two hands, the ability to switch hands at will and the use of at least 2 or 3 body lines against 1 or 2 body lines in offensive maneuvers. Can you do that?
