Chi Sau - the sticking hands
Chi Sau(øu¤â), or 'Sticking Hands', is the backbone of Wing Chun and the training
that bridges the forms and free-fighting. Rather than sparring, Chi Sau gives
two practitioners the opportunity to test and explore each other's strengths
and weaknesses, allowing a unique and unplanned learning process to take place.
Chi Sau practice should be viewed as a game rather than a competition. Chi Sau
helps to hone footwork, reflexes, positioning, techniques, energy and the automatic
response to a situation for which Wing Chun has become famous. Chi Sau has some
similarities to Tai Chi's pushing hands.
