This is a tiny extract from a 40 minute discussion by James Sinclair explaining why #wingchun Chi Sau has utility in real fighting. ![]()
![]()
The human arms can only articulate in particular ways. So when you adopt a clinch or close contact position (Chi Sau) there are very few shapes that are possible.![]()
![]()
It is the ball and socket joint of the shoulder where most of the variability comes from in arm strikes. And strangely enough the character for Bong Sau relates to the shoulder. Maybe they were onto something! ![]()
![]()
Some people are stuck in their way of thinking and cannot get past the lessons of a teacher who may have had little to no experience in applying the skills outside of a classroom. ![]()
![]()
Chi Sau can certainly be fun when two practitioners of the Art practice. However, there is also a valuable skillset for self defence and fighting held within, and that should not be overlooked. ![]()
![]()
Like all #martialarts Wing Chun is often too clever for its own good. What do we mean by this? ![]()
![]()
In Chi Sau we can develop fabulously intricate and subtle 'clever' skills and skilful attacks that would never arise in a fight with a non Wing Chun stylist. ![]()
![]()
However, this is what's makes up the' Art' of the system and is by far what most Wing Chun students enjoy. ![]()
![]()
Not everyone wishes to train to fight for years on end. Martial Artists usually grow past the phase of training purely for self defence. Casual and inexperienced observes then believe martial arts don't help in self defence when seeing fancy artistic skills. And in part they are right.....! ![]()
![]()
It is the basics that are the most important. Do not lose sight of the importance of keeping a good 'simple' skillset. ![]()
![]()
Don't let the 'Art of dealing with the Art' delude you into thinking that these 'fancy skills' have a place in a fight and you are, therefore, more capable of fighting than you really are. This is pretty much true of all styles.![]()
![]()
As this is such a tiny extract from a far longer discussion, it can be so easily misinterpreted. We do hope that you get the 'gist' of what was intended. ![]()

If you had the stamina to actually read the post, above, and not just skip to the short video, we thank you. This gives us hope for the human species!!! ![]()
