The reason Sifu Nenad had his student hold his arm out was to show the he must cover the area with a tan before continuing. Later on they can quickly pull the arm back in prep for another attack.
The guy isn’t throwing “perfect” boxing punches but since he was available we asked him to help out. I also noticed that he held his hands out a few times. ![]()

Ah! OK! That makes better sense that what was shown in that other video. Thanks Phil!
Be there by being Square!
[QUOTE=KPM;875625]Why put energy into a Tan Sao to completely change the line or trajectory of someone’s punch when you could simply go around it or redirect it slightly? It doesn’t seem very efficient to me. This even seems to violate the TWC rule of flanking. Why “open” the guy up with a Tan and put yourself on the inside where you could potentially have to deal with his other arm rather than leaving his punching arm on the line it occupies while doing a Lop to go around to the outside and zoning away from his other arm?[/QUOTE]
After the bong-sao with the left a simple bridgewalk/kuen su kuen with the right hand will take care of the other hand regardless if it strikes second or not. This way the defense and offense are one. When this is done the bong sao with the left can turn right into a Loy Fon Kuen(inside whipping fist) and become a strike automatically instead of just rolling to another block.
In the Woo Fai Ching system we work with concepts of double arm control in our chi-sao(there is that thing again) and working from a square as well as a triangle which answers this question easily.
In the Woo System we don’t shun the middle. Why practice all that Chi-Sao(standing right in the middle face to face) just to abandon it when drilling attack/defense?
Love , Peace, & Chitlin’ Grease fellas,
