Rules to Chi Sao
The goal of Chi Sao is to form an foundation from which you, the practitioner,
can create good habits and reactions in combat situations.
Chi Sao is meant to be an exercise, not a sparring contest.
A student should put more attention into applying proper technique than actually trying to hit your partner. The goal
of Chi Sao is to form an foundation from which you, the practitioner, can create good habits and reactions. Please follow
this advice in your practice of Chi Sao. As with any other exercise, there are rules that must be obeyed. I notice
a lot of students have a misunderstanding of the rules of Chi Sao. The following is a list of rules which are prioritized;
one being the most important and five being the least.
1. The practitioner must maintain central line with technique and strikes.
2.
The practitioner must have contact with your partner.
3. The practitioner must always move from on technique to another,
thus never stopping.
4. The practitioner must use the five phases of energy to apply Wing Chun techniques.
5.
The practitioner must apply Wing Chun techniques, from your forms, at all times.
Please follow these rules in your practice. It
would creately improve your skill as a Wing Chun practitioner.

Speed, is it the key to Power?
Speed is the essential factor of force or power. Force is equals Mass
multiplied by Acceleration, F = ma. A large stone is dropped on a pane of glass from a height of 3 inches will not break
the glass, however, a small pebble thrown at great speed will break it.
It is also important to relax the muscles during movement as relaxed
muscles move faster than tense muscles. Reaction force, breath control, balance, focus and relaxation of the muscles
cannot be ignored as these are the factors that contribute to the speed of the movement and these must be well co-ordinated
to produce the maximum power.
If you now relate to Physics....
P = (½mv²) / t
P = Power
½ = is a constant
m = Mass
v = Velocity(SPEED)
t = time
taken to do the action
This clearly shows that speed is the most important factor in gaining
power. If the mass was increased by a factor of 3 and speed is constant then Power is increased by a factor of 3, but,
if speed is increased by a factor of 3 then Power is increased by a factor of nine!
