Description
Chi-sao looks weird. We get that. Especially in this day and age of MMA and people thinking that unless it happens in the UFC it can’t possibly work. This is, of course, a fallacy. But still, the question begs: what are we really doing in chi-sao?
Simply put, you learn to attack and defend yourself at clinch range. No other drill truly allows for the development of reflexive skill to attack and defend the neck, throat, eyes, jaw, and against pushes and pulls, trips, throws, locks, takedowns…all of it, like Wing Chun’s signature drill. It’s the glue that holds the system together because it answer exactly this tough question. How do we fight at close-range and target weak points safely? That’s Chi-Sao in a nutshell.
