Thoughts on Chi Sau

by Jo-Gau Nello Neri


Nello with Master Heimberger


Personally, I prefer Chi-Sau.  I believe that it is the exercise that best allows you to establish a feeling with the partner.  Helping you to feel all the movements of the other person through the arms.  Developing, thus, a better (and indispensable) capacity to contract and to relax the muscles necessary to understand the exact moment to attack or when the moment to yield and attack again. Strengthening equilibrium, stability, sensitivity, and timing are all important aspects of Chi Sau.  Through this training I become more convinced that every session of Wing Chun should be studied as if it were the last, with commitment, and passion, but above all else, with respect and feeling toward your Si-Fu.
