Unique to Wing Chun, Chi Sau is a training method that combines both the empty-hand forms and wooden dummy practice into real world application. Through repetitive drills and exercises students develop a balanced connection to the centerline through the evolving shapes of the practice.  These evolving shapes of Chi Sau refine a student’s ability to receive, retain, and release energy while defending and attacking around the centerline. As a student’s skill increases both body and mind become grounded through the shapes of Chi Sau. Eventually, from Chi Sau every technique finds itself as the student learns to empty themselves into the shapes and actions of the practice.
