An excerpt from Sifu Linda's book
An Expose on Wing Chun Kung Fu'
Parallel Single arm Chi Sao Drill
Parallel Single arm chi Sao is
practiced stationary from a neutral stance with a partner. It employs one
moving arm and one static arm, develops contact reflexes, sensitivity, sticking
to the arms and forward intention in Fuk Sao, Tan Sao, and Bon Sao.
Terminology
for the Qi Sao movements are:
Fuk
Sao – bridge on arm
Tan
Sao – palm up block
Bon
Sao – wing arm
Jut
Sao – jerk hand or pinning hand
Biu
Choi - thrusting punch
Jeung
- palm strike
The
drill trains Tan Sao, Fuk Sao, Jut Sao or Gum Sao and Bon Sao, central line
theory, action reaction response, correct position of the arms, visual,
sticking, independent movement of the arms and body.
The
drill teaches us to use Tan Sao to create openings for attack in the upper
gate, to release and stick with Fuk Sao, before redirecting the force (palm
strike) coming in under the arm from Tan Sao, into the lower gate using Jut Sao
or Gum Sao, also to redirect attacks coming over the arm in the upper gate
using Bon Sao.
This
drill develops the concepts of; sensitivity in conditioning our reflexes,
strategy, close range distance for combat, the straight line attack, to attack
when we control the centre, to yield and not fight force against force, to
create openings and to attack using forward intention through gaps in our
opponent’s defences when correct positions are lost.
This
is the foundation of double arm Qi Sao and happens in a static position. Using
only one arm simplifies the drill, and allows for all this information to be
programmed into the arms and mind. This training uplifts our mind, body
coordination while training conditional reflexes to an action, reaction
response in close range combat, in the upper gate without having to think about
the legs in the lower gate.
This
is the first stage to Double arm Qi Sao.
Correct
position of the arms is vital for attack and defence................
