Chi-Sao

Chi-Sao, known as "The Soul of WT," is a partner exercise unique to Wing Tzun that helps the practitioner develop forward pressure, tactile sensitivity, quick reflexes, body coordination, relaxation, balance, power, economy of motion and other core elements necessary for good WT self-defense. Chi-Sao is, in essence, the bridge between learning the movements of WT individually in the forms training and learning to apply them fluently and automatically (i.e. without thought) in combat.

During the Chi-Sao training, the student learns to divorce his/her conscious mind from the details of fighting. The body is trained to act spontaneously on the inputs provided by the opponent's pressure. The WT movements are integrated into the student's natural reflexes so that the student can react instantly, appropriately and automatically to the actions of the opponent.
