how to properly perform the technical aspects of Wu Sau

let it begin.

LOL!

Where to begin? I need to get out my slide rule. :rolleyes: :smiley:

not telling

this knowledge comes from much training and tuition fees, must not be revealed for free!

Well lets see…

You dont want it to be to close to you so it doesnt get pinned to you.
You want the fingers strait,and the thumb in so your fingers will have a less chance of being broken.
You want it in the center ofcourse!
And you want the energy there…always…

If anyone else knows more then that…lets hope they share…

wu sau

Wu sau does not always have to be in centre.

If you mean in terms of shape, then pretty much what applies to other bridges-elbow in, wrist aligned, intention directed, etc. but with fingers drawn up. If you mean in terms of application, usually covering what’s exposed by the actions of the other hand, often by occupying the most direct path between an opponent’s weapons and my center.

What do you think?

If wu sau is not in the center then the centerline is not being protected/occupied by your hand. Therefore you are open to having an attack pin your bridge and go through.

with fingers drawn up

How far up?

You are always open one way or another. I believe that I wrote that it is not ALWAYS in centre.

I know.

I agree that one is always open one way or another but I believe that wu sau is always in center…even with shifting…

please explain your comment that it is not ALWAYS in center…in what situation would it not be in center?

Sometimes it is at the shoulder line. Perhaps it is call something else when it gets there.

pak sau?

I learned Pak Sau, in kindergarten.

I did not say always…I said you want it there,not always want it there…
That is where I would like my wu sau to be while entering.I wont have it at my shoulders :rolleyes:

hmmm…aren’t we a little cocky? :cool:

i know non Yip Man lineages have it at shoulder level…and even some from Yip Man lineages. The reason being if it is already at one end, you only have to protect the other…

That’s ridiculous…in that case why don’t you just throw the rest of wing chun’s principles out the door? :slight_smile:

Sometimes, not ALWAYS, you DON’T want it there, you WANT it somewhere else.

wu sau in center

how do you explain the 2nd section of the dummy form

that’s three pak saus…

…and while one hand paks, the other is doing wu in the CENTER…

the man sau before the kick
