Chi Sao and Its Importance in our Wing Chun Family

:: By Bill Graves ::

Chi Sao, the way it was taught to me by my sifu, Karl Godwin, isn't something to be taken lightly and used incorrectly or abused.

We cherish our Chi Sao like a fine wine. We don't crack open the bottle, drink some and pour water into it to keep it full. Obviously this will dilute the quality.

Instead we practice it with great focus as to develop it gradually and "let it age properly" within us.

We don't just practice Chi Sao with anyone that can't play our game properly.

We use our Chi Sao to find the "weaknesses" in our opposition, whether it be our brother and sister students or someone else.

As soon as the weakness is found it is "ACTED" upon. With this type of training, you're never caught off guard or waiting on someone else to capitalize off your mistakes.

We are always working on making our chi sao the best it can possibly be.
