CHI SAU TRAINING - GETTING BETTER

Chi Sau is a major component in the Wing Chun curriculum. Chi Sau can become an obsession to many Wing Chun practitioners. One of the most significant ways to get better of Wing Chun Chi Sau is to put 'Time in the Pattern'. But the big problem is that if you just 'spend time in the pattern', you will be gaining very little in the way of advancement.

If you want to get better at your Chi sau, you need to train intentionally. Sometimes the best thing to do is to find a partner that you can work with, and is willing to help you work on areas of your Chi sau. Some of the things that you can focus on:

1) Lines of Force
2) Footwork
3) Coordination flows
4) Individual techniques
5) Facing
6) Centerline

It's important to remember that Chi Sau is a total sum of individual parts brought together into one motion.

Keep Training, Keep Learning!
