| Good Chi Sao is very useful stuff. Lots' of systems have contact flow / sticky hands type drills. You can tell the good stuff because it shows up in loads of different systems (Richies included) | |

| ...really cool. can't say i know 'anything' about the style. but all that working of the hands that (as far as i can tell) is a HUGE part of wing chun, has a profound affect on reflexes (positive). i say this from some personal high-school (secondary school) experiences where i had this kind of constant exchange (between me and my friend, who 'was a charlaton who claimed to be an expert', BUT was an excellent street fighter--and so we constantly tried to work our arms in a way that wasn't really that dissimilar, though not nearly as graceful). [enough background], when my moment of reckoning came, my arms seemed to move a wee bit faster than i could think. it was some silly school fight, but it had a profound affect on me. i liked that things came out without any thought. and i like that this master's (in the vid) workout includes grabbing the back of the neck--with elbow strikes, etc... a nice break for me and my youtube searches that started out looking for brutal fights and ended up with voyaristic car accidents that include people. and metal. i guess i have to factor that sort of unpleasantness in when i search the internet. | |
