Traditional Wing Chun Classes in Redfern

Greetings…

We had a great week last week which was capped off with an old school drilling class on Saturday.

Tonight we will start with a drilling class, plus detailing the last sections of the Chum Kil and Bil Jee forms. Afterwards, a full run through of both forms. On the Wooden Dummy we will work backwards from the last set, because the last 3 or 4 are almost always the least polished, so let’s refine those dummy sets.

We will finish off the class with Chi Sau! Including a reaping sweep to arm bar technique and one of Frances’ flow drills. So we will need to be totally focused for the evening!

See you there.

Regards,

Sifu

What is Chi Sau?

Chi Sau, or‘ Sticky Hands’, is a Wing Chun training activity aimed to develop close range combat expertise. In close range conflict, your capacity to perceive an incoming strike, for example a punch and respond by instinct is greatly lowered, which is where the attributes evolved through Chi Sau relate.

The goal of Chi Sau is to anticipate through touch any change in an opponent’s body position which indicates an incoming attack. Training the arms to have a mind of their own allows a Wing Chun exponent to intuitively disrupt an opponent’s structure and douse their capability to bear force.
